38k for the V70R when it came out was an amazing deal if you ask me... RWD would be nice, but facts are facts. GM already has a Swedish company, not sure if they would acquire another(I've always kinda grouped them together, maybe others do as well?) The Korean companies as much as I hope not, they wouldn't make the cars any worse, they would just use the Volvo technology to improve their other cars then probably resell it in 5 years. One company that I thought always needed a premier marque is Mistubishi(only big japanese company that dosen't have one), doubt they are in much of a position to make a 8B$ acquisition. I think that IF they sell, it'll go private.
