>I often see you guys referring to Volvos as 'bricks'. Pardon
>the stupid American, but what's this all about? Are Volvos 'bricks'
>because they are sort of rectangular like bricks?
Yes, at least the 200, 700, and 900 series. The term was coined by one of
the founding members of the Swedishbricks mailing list. See:

>are solid like bricks?
Yes
>Heavy like bricks?
No heavier than other cars
>Get rotten gas mileage like bricks?
Some do. Some don't.
Next topic: Why members of the Swedishbricks mailing list refer to SAABs
