I just went from a 25% chance of buying a Volvo to infinitely less than zero% chance

Ugh!

Oh well, I bought mine for cash off of Craigslist, so no money would ever make it to the ChiComs anyway.

Zhejiang Geely Holding has signed a deal to buy Sweden's Volvo Cars from US auto maker Ford.
Thanks ConservativeStatement.

I drove a Volvo for 10 years. A fine car.

I doubt I would ever buy a Geely.

Sad to see both Saab and Volvo on their way down the drain.

My Buick Roadmaster is 15 years old, and I’m starting to think about a replacement.

I was thinking about Volvo but not any more.

The choices for a replacement are really getting thin.

I am glad I own a Saab (and a Jeep). Now I can thumb my nose at all those snooty Chinese car-driving Volvo owners. ;>

The funny thing Geely is more capitalistic than Government Motors; Geely is a private company (for what that is worth).

I drive a Volvo XC 70. Best car I’ve ever owned. By the time I’m ready to replace it, Volvos will be cheap, defective, Chicom crap. What a shame.

This is awful. Daughter & husband are on their second Volvo in 20 years, it’s about 12 yrs now. Wonderful car, safety, looks great. It will be junk after awhile with Chicoms screwing it up.

Volvo had a great car,it was the 122-124 with the B-18 engine. Lost interest in Volvo after they discontinued the model. In the last 20 years they haven’t been as reliable as the old 122.
