Good. We stole all there safety technology. Were definately selling enough vehicles with Ford lincoln mercury alone. Get rid of them. We got everything we needed from them.

Might as well you’ve sold everything else off. So stupid! After you’ve killed off Mercury and Lincoln what then? Start selling off the rights to the cars? How much will you give me for Mustang????

It is kind of stupid to have a Premier Automotive Group with only one nameplate.

Kill Mercury, sell Volvo.

Why would you keep companys that have lost you money since you bought them. The only company that made Ford money was Land Rover but they cut there losses and put them in a package deal with the plummiting Jaguar. What the hell are you talking about 1 name plate johnny. I think mercury and Lincoln. They still own volvo so thats 4. Ford has mad a profit the last two quarfters sop mister mclally is doing good things

Ohh btw we own Mazda so thats 5, eat a dick johnny

I don’t see why they couldn’t have just sold it in other countries. Now if your so convinced that it won’t sell you slash and burn it all so your other brands (Lincoln) won’t have to FREAKIN compete with it DUHHHHHH! Real smart there FLM. I think they could have shrunk it down pulled out of the US and sold it in other countries like China. But there so damned obsessed with selling thousands a week that they can’t see it. Hey didn’t sell 10k this month! This brands played out lets sell. Hell Yeah!

ihustle, the PAG has one marque now that Land Rover and Jag are gone: Volvo. Mercury and Lincoln are just divisions of regular old Ford. But don’t let the facts get in the way of a good opportunity to show your ignorance.

Then what the **** is mazda? just a branch off of Ford right? The truth is its you inability to accept the truth.

I believe Ford owns roughly one third of Mazda, but Mazda has never been part of PAG or wholly owned by Ford.

Ford would be stupid to sell Volvo, it’s their best asset! Mulally, this isn’t Boeing selling a small and miserable parts company, this is Ford selling a vital company with thousands of experienced engineers.

Keep Volvo, sell Ford, change the name of the company to Volvo.

they may have an chance if ford keeps them, but if they sell know what you are doing …keep half so they can contiue taking and helping

I want to buy Volvo and Saab. Then kill them both.
Then watch university professor pin-heads cry.

When’s Kerkorian going to do something about this?

Volvo kicks the crap out of Ford in the R&D department, and yet Ford uses none of the tech that is sitting in front of them on a silver plate. Volvo has cars with lane departure warnings, sensors to tell when the driver is sleepy, three-stage airbags, tons of safety features Ford is too cheap to put in their own models.

A hybrid flex-fuel car with four motors, one in each wheel, and it is a working prototype, not a car show hype job. Does Ford capitalize on that? No. They have a gift horse and don’t use it. I say sell Volvo to a European house or to Holden, to someone who can fund them and actually spread their tech around.

Although Volvo isn’t exactly setting the sales charts on fire in the U.S., I do think it will be a shame to see Ford sell the division. I think Volvo has provided some technical expertise to the Ford Corporation. If selling it helps keep Ford alive and kicking in the long run, I do think it is in their best interests to sell it though.

If Ford does sell Volvo, I hope it doesn’t end up under the control of a Chinese company. Nissan/Renault, BMW, Daimler, or Peugeot/Citroen would be preferable choices as future owners of Volvo.

I see S40s and S60s as well as XC90s constantly in Phoenix and Scottsdale; they may not sell well out in the sticks, but in the urban centers Volvo seems to do well. The new S80 seems to have caught on with the country club set, at least.

I believe ihustle is one of the new pricks on the block…

Apparently, one thing he never learnt was the art of spelling.

Anyway, he knows nothing about Mazda and Ford, or Volvo for that matter.
Great(!)

In Soviet Russia, Ford in talks to sell YOU!!

Johnny well stated!!!!! New to the block? Block? I dont understand, i thought i was blogging on some car site. Why dont you get all your internet buddys, that are “old to the block” get a petition together to ban me. HAHAHAHA YOU ARE OFFICIALLY GAY, AND SHOULD CONSEMPLATE KILLING YOURSELF

Lol at ihustle for being so immature and believing that Ford owns Mazda. The fact is, as espoused by johnnycanuck, Mazda has never been apart of PAG and Ford owns less than 25% of that company. further, it is the most profitable company in the Ford network.

The best thing that could happen to Volvo would be a Ford sale. Renault/Nissan would be a good move, BMW would be great, but incredibly unlikely. Admittedly I don’t know enough about the Chinese companies mentioned in the article to have an opinion there, I’m open to information on that one! Volvo has gotten stale, and a change in hands would likely reinvigorate the brand and increase sales.

Sell Lincoln, keep Mercury, sell Ford, keep the Focus and Fusion but call them Mazda, keep Volvo but change the time to Vulva.
