No - I'd be pretty worried at SAI buying it too - don't they own MG/Rover?

So this is an interesting situation now, Sweden have loaned large sums of money to Volvo and Saab (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7777395.stm) but the US government has voted against a bail out for Ford and the two others (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7778830.stm).
I presume the money for Volvo cannot be transferred to Ford? I would think as a result of this no go in the US Senate that Ford will feel even more pressure now to sell Volvo, and quickly.
