Could be an awesome aquisition for BMW if it all goes through. I wonder how much Volvo would sell for?

I think that would be a good thing. Start focusing on fixing the route of the problem.

Volvo has a cult following, and a relatively sturdy demand. It's amazing Ford hasn't been able to make Volvo profitable. If BMW gets their hands on Volvo, the XC90 is going to kick ass.

Volvo had a cult following - most of their old customers that bought into the true name have since departed from ownership. Volvo has a lot of potential though. Interesting though as when was the last time BMW really merged their name brand with anybody? They've primarily been an independent marque for a long time...

Mini? or are you saying that doesn't count?
