We had a 99 Volvo s70 awd sedan (dark green metallic) for seven years and it was a very nice dependable car. They aren't kidding when it comes to volvo's safety. I got rear-ended by two cars and did no damage to the volvo, but their cars all had front-end damage. The paint on the volvo was not soft but by no means was it as rock hard as on my 96 chevy impala ss. It showed moderate swirls after 7 years and no polishing in that time. We traded it in for a 06 odyssey (dark blue pearl) which swirls easily. The consensus on here seems to be that dark honda paints are very soft in comparison to others. I don't think you can go wrong with any of your car choices, but if it was me I would go with the volvo.
