Autolies, and Leftlane both said ford denied rumors. SO take it for what its worth.

Personally, i dont like it.

I thought GM owned Volvo, so it's all news to me.

Not in my case. I'm married to a Volvo owner

Volvo actually makes very nice cars, but they just have a different focus (comfort and safety). However, my wife's next car will be a BMW 5 series.
