I do like the look of the new S60 but if history repeats itself may be worth waiting for the September 2013 facelift (provided they don't screw with the headlight access again).

Reading about the Swedish government stepping in all admirable stuff but can't help wonder where this is all going ? If no one has the cash or access to credit to buy the cars what is the point in Government shoring them up ?

Looking at figures, Volvo down 6.x% on twelve months ago, and Ford only down 11.x% looks very favourable compared with Honda down 42.x%, BMW over 40% to name a few...

It looks like this is the breaking point. Just a few years ago "analysts" were predicting a handfull of manufacturers would survive. Even Toyota have lost their AAA status.
