My bro purchased the car through a state-side dealership, and the car will eventually be delivered to the dealer.

I think it is more of a promotion type of thing for both Sweden and Volvo. The package included 2 round trip tickets, 2 nights at a Raddison Blu in Gothenburg, 3 nights at Raddison Blu in Stockholm, a 24-hour museum and transit pass for Stockholm, a Volvo factory tour, and a lunch at the visitors centers.

Stockholm was great... one of the nicest cities in Europe in my opinion. We didn't really go to any bars, but made it to the Opera. Gothenburg was nice too. We were there for Walpurgis night, and we checked out the bon-fire celebration in the park.
