Land of Volvos
As a Volvo fan I was pretty excited to see all the Volvos in Sweden. Volvo limousines (sorry, didn't get a picture of one), tons of volvo taxis, and a generally huge marketshare, which you might not expect given that they're a) not so cheap and b) owned by Ford.Sure, the native brands are popular...Skoda in Czech Republic, VW in Germany, but for one brand to be so dominant is not so common. (sorry Saab, didn't see too many of you)
Stationwagons were the hands down favorites. Maybe 2 or 3 for every 1 volvo sedan. In fact, this picture of 3 volvo stationwagons in a row in a parking lot is one of the most common sites in Stockholm. Interestingly though, not too many 240s. I would have liked to see more 240s representing. I guess Stockholm is too hip for that retro 80s look. But somewhere out there, maybe really far in the north, there's a city where Sony walkmans outnumber ipods, and that's where all the old 240s are alive and well.
