SAIC China is the best option for Ford. As soon as SAIC acquires Volvo, Chinese demand for Volvo is going to sky rocket.

If Hyundai were to buy it, it will be a smart move to get them in the near luxury brand market. They now have products that are near luxury, like the Genesis and the Veracruz, but sales are low because of the brand image Hyundai carries.

FORD will NOT get a buyer at that price tag. Ford will settle at close of 4 Billion.

I'd like to think Renault will buy it. But as my pa says, things are only worth what people will pay. There can't be many people think that is money well spent in the current climate.

There isnt really anything about volvo cars that makes them so much more special than an audi or Bmw or chrysler or anything in that price range. same as saab. they may very well be good cars. but if i had the money i would buy something else.

there is a powerful competition in the market and there are a lot of brands today than before which makes the competition even harder, so the buyer of Volvo should make it a very unique car to be successful

Meh, I wish Volvo trucks would buy it back... whoever buys them I hope has no effect on how the build their cars, like the relationship that Tata has with Jaguar... kinda
