Having worked on both...I would say  "true"

QFT. I own a 01 Disco II and 95 Range Rover Classic and love them both.

I have an 05 S60 turbo with 165k on it.

It looks great and runs like a raped ape.  It was my ex wife's car (daddy gave it to her), and she did her damndest to destroy the thing.

No oil change, extremely long intervals for oil changes, going through the car wash with the windows down, etc.

I change the oil regularly now (synthetic), and besides the annoying bulb burnout rate (really annoying, the cause of me not getting another) and small electrical issues like the passenger front window rolling up then down then up if you don't hold the switch up, it's been fantastic.

Starts and runs (fast!) EVERY day, I have a 70-90 minute commute one way and I do not hesitate to strap the boxy thing on and go every day, I know it'll get me there and back.

I've driven to Florida, to Arkansas, and many many many shorter trips with no more pre-maintenance than an oil change and checking the belts/filters/air in the tires.

I'm going to roll the dice with an 00-06 BMW 6 series here, soon, though.  

Guy in my church seems to like his S60.

That said, I've heard nothing but horror stories from my dad about what a pain their heavy trucks are to work on, and that'd he'd NEVER buy a Volvo passenger vehicle.

I had one on my old phone but not any more. It crumpled up the hood, took the right headlight out, and bent the right quarter panel.  A lot of damage was inside the hood just in front of the engine. Smashed the air intake and bent some things up but they did a good job repairing it.  Nothing leaked and didn't even get a check engine light.  I was doing between 45-50 mph.
