Ngaba le Volvo ibonakala iqhelekile? Ukuba ibonakala iqhelekile, musa ukumangaliswa. Kwavela kolu cwaningo ukuba i-Citroën BX yazalwa, enye yeemodeli eziphumelele kakhulu zohlobo lwesiFrentshi. Kodwa masihambe ngamacandelo, kuba eli bali lifana ne-rocambole njenge-adventure yaseRocambole.
Konke kwaqala ngo-1979 xa i-brand yaseSweden i-Volvo, ukuqala ukulungiselela umlandeli we-saloon yayo ye-343, yacela iinkonzo zoyilo kwi-atelier ehloniphekileyo yaseBertone. AbaseSweden babefuna into entsha kunye nekamva, imodeli eya kuvelisa uphawu lube yile mihla.
Ngelishwa, iprototype eyakhawulwa nguBertone, ebhaptizwe ngegama elithi "Tundra" ayizange ikholise abaphathi beVolvo. Kwaye amaTaliyane ayengenayo enye into ngaphandle kokubeka iprojekthi kwidrowa. Kulapho uCitroën engena kwimbali njengomdlali oyintloko.
AmaFrentshi, aphawuleka ngakumbi kwi-avant-garde kuneVolvo ngeminyaka yoo-1980, abona iprojekthi yeTundra “eyaliwe” njengesiseko esihle somsebenzi kwinto eya kuba yiBX. Kwaye kwaba njalo.
