Older Volvos just like Saabs with the old 4 banger couldn't be killed, but times are changing and so are the engineering of engines and cars.
Volvo aluminum engines from 93 and up for sure have a better track record than the 4 cyl engine from 99 and up in the Saabs.
A cars reputation is also strongly connected to the sub suppliers of all the parts going in. If they are constantly pushing the prices down, they will finally find the "cheapest" supplier of parts and that might not be a good thing.
It seems to be what happened in late 90s and early 2000s to Saab, they finally had too many "cheap" parts in there bringing the quality down.
