Interesting, thanks.

So basically no-one made Ford a good enough offer!

Cheers,
John

They (Ford) want Volvo to stand on their own two feet as there will be no PAG once Jaguar and Land Rover go. See below:

In addition, the company has been conducting a strategic review of Volvo, and has developed a plan. The first priority of the plan is to improve financial performance at Volvo. The plan also includes: enhancing Volvo's position as a global producer of premium vehicles; establishing appropriate business arrangements between Volvo and Ford-brand operations to allow Volvo to operate on a more stand-alone basis in the absence of the PAG structure; and, continuing to achieve synergies between Ford-brand operations and Volvo in areas such as product development and purchasing. The company plans to disclose Volvo's financial performance beginning with 2008 results.
