I agree that Ford should keep Volvo however the problem is that Ford does not address the suspension. I had two V70's and the first one was a smaller pre-ford design that handled well. It was a nice car but had issues with emision controls and was in the dealer once a month for this issue. The second one was a Volvo/Ford car it was reliable and trouble free and look nice but it felt big and did not handle well. The current V70 looks even better but lacks handling.
