[QUOTE=Coventrysucks;786000]I wasn't aware that Volvo was run by Ford managers.
I had sort of assumed that was what Volvo managers were for.
Must be nice work if you can get it - decent salary, elk benefits, midnight sun, you don't have to do any work and someone else gets the blame when it goes wrong.[/QUOTE]
I meant that they are Ford-choosen managers. And after all for the most important decisions they do have to take into account Ford manager's opinion.
[QUOTE=Ferrer;785727]Well they were profitable. They are not anymore apparently.[/QUOTE]
I would say it is hard to lay blame to Ford entirely - to what degree Ford is responsible may be very hard to gauge.
I might have grown a bit more accustomed to this shape.
But still in comparison to the XC90, this XC60 is a bit lame. :cool:

[B]Emphasised attention to detail[/B]
Scandinavian design is exemplified by beautiful, simple shapes and surfaces with any unnecessary clutter removed.
This is evident in the redesigned interior and exterior of the new 60 cars.
