Volvo (XC70) quality at eye level with German cars?

I’m sure that I’m going to be able to keep up with the German manufacturers Mercedes, Audi and BMW. I’m currently driving an A-Class and I’m also thinking if it wasn’t a Mercedes (T-Model C-Class or E-Class) again. I’m really going to make it depend on how the cars are in terms of value. I was with a Volvo dealer nearby today, but unfortunately (Ostersonntag) I didn’t have to open it up again. I just wanted to put myself in a Volvo to see if that’s comparable to some dt. manufacturers. That’s really important to me, because I don’t like to compare it with some cheap materials in terms of a good factory. I just had to say that I’m looking for a good factory.
