Officially Confirmed: Ford Considers Selling Volvo I think you'll find Swifthead that Volvo still is a leader in safety. It may not have tailored their car's safety systems to pass the EURONCAP like other manufacturers, but is one of the safest cars you can buy. Furthermore, I think that Volvo could offer BMW a future for the Mini brand. Volvo's small cars could use the larger mini platform and engines, helping BMW lower its CO2 results. And whilst it wouldn't offer models to rival the 7 series, it could use the 4wd sytems for the 3 and 5 series platforms with lower capacity, more economical engines. It might not be the apparent 'ECObrand' that BMW is looking for, but it's not far off either. Volvo has shown given time and support, it can pull out some very good cars, like the recent XC60 and the XC90 before it. They understand that aspect of the market incredibly well, even though the saloons have been a bit lacklustre recently. I think the new S60 will be a big hit too, if the can sort out the ride.
