Volvo Car Corporation and Volvo Trucks are owned by different companies

You say this as if the particular organizational structure of a company has any bearing on the matter at hand. I think that's a ridiculous notion.

If you're happy with your Volvo, feel free to replace that make with any other you don't like. All the same, really.

Look, they're not the same thing. Volvo is a Swedish corporation that makes heavy vehicles and their engines, e.g. buses, trucks, construction equipment and ship engines.

Volvo Car Corporation is a subsidiary of Zhejiang Geely Holding Group. They used to be owned by Ford or something.

It's totally their fault that it's confusing, though, I'll give you that, but you're still wrong.
