Re: hello there
My car was still Swedish in part. 50% in fact. In 2000 GM gained full control while I have a 1999 model.

Re: hello there
But even after 2000 the cars were still being built from the Swedish parts bin. They didn't really get GM-ified until the next redesign in 2003. Heh, and just to muddy things up a bit, my post-takeover 2000 was built in a secondary manufacturing facility in Finland
So If I can still call mine Swedish (and I do), then you can certainly call yours the same

Re: hello there
Mines more Swedish than yours (note the moose shape)
Mine was built in the Finnish factory as well. January 11, 1999 if Im not mistaken. Its almost her birthday

Re: hello there
If I'm not mistaken, volvo was also bought out in 2000, so my S70 is also the last fully swedish made.
