Now that china owns them, why would anyone in the US buy a Chinese Volvo?

Why would anyone in the US buy ANYTHING from China ?
Because........ in 2 days the Sheeple will have forgotten (if they ever knew in the first place) that Volvo = Chinese.

Or - more probably - they didn't care in the first place.
They don't care that a stinking repressive government is stinking and repressive ! Long live Tibet - huh ?

Why doesn't someone start a chain of stores called....
Made in China....NOT ! ........ or some such.

I'm a buyer.

Why would anyone care where the car is built, as long as the quality stays the same? If they want to subsidize production to cut the competition, so be it, I'll take it. Nationalism smells of protectionism, and, Milton Friedman can tell you, that is not what capitalism is all about.
 
i heard from a friend that after IBM sold their computer business the new brand Lenovo is total crap. The quality did not stay the same. He used thinkpads for years and was very happy with them. 1-2 years ago got Lenovo and is still cursing it.
 
"Ford on Sunday struck an agreement to sell Volvo Car Corp. to Zhejiang Geely Holding Group of China for $1.8 billion in a virtual all-cash deal. Ford had signaled months ago it wanted to sell Volvo. The deal should close in the third quarter. "

Volvo has been dead long ago before it was sold to Ford. It is
just a hot potato burning big holes for their owners.

BTW, are you enjoying your "Made in China" IPhone, IPod, IPad,
and all the other Apple stuffs?

So Pay high end car prices for a car built by 12 year olds in a dirty polluted factory and made with cheap materials.

did you know, both GM and Ford has been putting Chinese engine/drivetrain in some of their vehicles for years !!!
 
Doesn't this still make Volvo partly US owned? Just put a GS/US sticker on it.
Geely Automotive has acquired Volvo from Ford. This is a risky bet that may or may pay off for the Chinese auto maker - after first requiring a great deal of investment.

Goldman Sachs' private equity owns a significant stake in Geely, with the explicit goal of helping that company expand internationally. Remember what Goldman is - or rather what Goldman became when it was saved from collapse by being allowed to transform into a Bank Holding Company in September 2008 (which allowed access to the Federal Reserve's discount window, among other advantages). Goldman's funding is cheaper on all dimensions because it is perceived to be Too Big To Fail, i.e., supported by the US taxpayer; this allows Goldman to provide more support to Geely (and others).
