BMW could buy Volvo

[Hakkola]

As a long time Volvo fan I actually hope this deal goes through, since I hate Ford and love BMW.

Good for Volvo ..

Um .... may be good to BMW to .. BMW and Volvo .. very diff market .. hard to imagine if a ture sport sedan by Volvo ..

I think Benz should buy Volvo .. they are more similiar ..

[Xtrema]

That's stupid.

Totally different brands in the same market after mostly the same customer. Where's the benefits?

But funny if BMW buys Land Rover (also on sale) back.

Good volvo needs help. I think BMW can turn them around. Benz cant even take care of themselves little'own adding another brand to manage as well.

So BMW can utilize the Volvo safety aspects and to get more luxury vehicle market share.

Not to mention access to turbo engine R&D and AWD R&D. Volvo has been turbo for a looooooong time.

Good move. You get more of the luxury market share, and hopefully BMW can learn a thing or two about reliability from volvo

i think it would be a good move. just another asset.

besides i dont think too many people cross shop bmw and volvo. they are so different

volvo vs lexus and benz
