very bad news for the swedes if this happens... dont trust the chinese not to just sack everyone like they did with Rover. Future Volvos will be Volvos in name only.

Please don't let this be true. If Ford cares about their long term success they will not LET this happen.

By-by Rover ...or who it was?! But I have no money to buy a Chinese car. I just brought a Korean piano - very reliable, big wheels, agressive look and long warranty for a paint job you know!

Meh.... Sounds like over-reaction by the low-IQ set. Assuming it's not just hot air, there's a load of more likely explanations, the frist being Geely investing in a local JV with Volvo, which is the basic modus operandi for transnational manufacturer's in China. Of course, the low IQ+Chinese nationalist set would interpret Geely investment in such a venture as "buying Volvo".

Volvo AB should just go back Sweden and rejoin its old buddy Volvo Corp. Geely is bad even compare to other Chinese manufacterers. Copying models of cars and reinvented into stupid versions of them...

No way man !!! OMG .. the Geely crap to buy Volvo, it must be a nighmare or something in the auto world, if such thing as this will happen. Maybe G only wanted to make some advertising, for free, and launched some rumours - chinese type. I don't know, maybe Volvo are too expensive for the package you get, but still .. at least G didn't copied other EURO designs. Good luck Volvo, but why isn't Ford keeping it .. the XC60 is selling very well?

Who the freak cares what IQ-ed geeks thinks. Investment with no cultural tradition of personalized creative freedom (on which is built up that car industry too from his craddle) is about buying decision rights far beyond its competence. And it is bad!

Well there goes Volvo. My family has always owned them. My very liberal mother is very open minded about just about everything, except for purchasing products from China. She can't stand it when things are made in China, let alone made in China for Chinese owned companies. She will probably set fire to her car when she catches wind of this. I'm exaggerating of course, but maybe not really.

In 2007 I was in Venice and I was stopped in front of restaurant entrance by Chinese dud who invite me to visit his "restaurant of Italian Cuisine". So he really thought that I or we all are ready to pay for Chinese imagination of Italian food tradition in Italy and even shall eat it. This is "una idea della cretini medi". Never. Same with cars.

I've got a Volvo S40 car and if Ford sells its Volvo brand to the Chinese I will get rid of my car as soon as possible.
