Just sad… I just hope that they will maintain the quality of all the Volvo’s model if ever…

I am traveling sales person with a 2003 v70 with 200,000 miles on it, and counting. I get the oil changed twice a month and replace the tires every 6-8 months, and maybe a minor service here and there. It is not unusual for me to drive 500 miles in a day. I have always had Volvo’s and also have a 2009 s60 (which is not remotely the car, the v70 is). If you had asked me what my next car would be a month ago, I would tell you I only drive Volvo’s, for nothing beat the reliability, quality, and comfort. However, I don’t plan on buying a new Made in China Volvo. I will instead invest in a clean low mileage used 2003-2007 v70, which has proven to be more than a viable investment.

you get crap back because you or the middleman whos importing is only willing to pay for crap. stop shopping at JB for $500 42″ TVs and then complain as it falls apart in front of you. you get what you pay for. Im sure China can make quality goods, and they probably already do.

Rover went bust and was bought only in chunks…Volvo’s case is different

though u’d have to say the current designs are carried over from previous ventures under old ownership…lets not forget TATA lost a huge sum on Jag and Aston – fine cars as they are, how long will the losses cause TATA to think of a new strategy? There are only so many ways about it, cut costs or cut costs?

jon,
The Falcon doesnt have to go onto the Taurus platform to get AWD.

The current platform can take AWD.

Wheelie,
To be hinest thats probably a flawed (or is it floored) comparison/example.
There are too many other variables to conclude that the slower time is attributed solely to AWD.
I doubt AWD adds a whopping 500kgs either.

There has got to be a better example to prove your point……surely

Wheelnut, how many roads in Australia have the surface of Nurburgring? Its a race track for gods sake. We are talking about every day roads with real life conditions, not some perfect surface with perfect conditions in cars punted around the track by racing drivers.
