[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.

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.
