Who says it is better? Not too many of us have actual opportunity to compare. We drove Volvo for total of 17 years and dumped in for cosmetic reasons in perfect running condition.
My first MB was 1983 model. I can testify that lot of (the same) parts in model from 1980's are much better that from 1990's and 2000's.
I am actually pulling 25 years old MB parts from junk yard to replace those 6-7 years old on our newer models.
Sure I could spend my time and money to test if Volvo keeps the quality parts from 80's , but frankly I have no time for that.
