Let’s hope BMW is the one to buy Volvo.

Doesn't seem like all that many people consider Saab at all. <br/><br/>Volvo has tried to expand beyond the upscale stroller hauling set and tweed jacket crowd, but the results haven't been all that successful.

I like Volvo (and Saab) and believe that if BMW wants to do this deal it would be a winner for both companies

BMW can continue to focus on sports and luxury sedans and sports cars while Volvo handles the family hauling.

Was it Detroit or the Volvo bit of Volvo...?<br/><br/>I'm not a huge fan of the Swedish marque but their new(ish) C30 is a stunner inside and out.<br/><br/>I think, given Ford's current issues the sale of Volvo was inevitable. Its just a pity the 8 billion will be like a couple of coins rattling around in their very deep tin. Hey Gunnar, any idea where the influence for the gorgeous Volvo C30 came from.

I’m not a huge fan of the Swedish marque but their new(ish) C30 is a stunner inside and out.

I think, given Ford’s current issues the sale of Volvo was inevitable. Its just a pity the 8 billion will be like a couple of coins rattling around in their very deep tin.
