I dont know about that, there is alot of Ford-ness added to the newer Volvo's.... starting with the tranny. Ford isn't as bad as Chrysler. I knew when MB was gonna buy them that MB would be doomed. It's like the old ad, "You got stuff in my chocolate, no you got chocolate in my stuff". Umm, you will NEVER end up with chocolate flavored stuff, you will always end up with stuff flavored chocolate. MB is doomed, once infected, there is no cure. None of these company's have the $$ to buy Volvo. First make the list out of companies NOT on their way to bankruptcy. Personally I'm hoping GM sells off Corvette/Cadillac, but its only a dream. Meantime, the new Corvette is the Best Bang for the Buck in a performance car.... saving pennies, saving pennies. Ive got about 4 million pennies to go I'd prefer to do the work myself. Hitting the YearOne catalog, must choose between a NEW 1969 Camaro or a NEW 1967 Mustang :P

Im here to stand up for GM. There are SOME inside that know what they are doing. I put 265K on my Corvette, the second owner has now put another 100K on it. All on the original engine that is still purrring like a kitten. 90% of all Corvette's EVER MADE since 53' are still on the road or in a collection. Dont ever compare the smallblock and bigblock Chevy engines with any eurotrash. I can take a ZZ4 crate engine, pop in low compression pistons and cam, and pump 30+Lbs of boost into it and it WONT BREAK. And some modifications to the design (including some SAAB innovations) could easily yeild a 50MPG 500HP monster. I love my V70XC but this Porche designed silly 5cyl isn't worthy of holding a smallblock chevy's dirty oil. Just a fact Jack. Imagine an S80R with the Z06 Corvette engine in it.
