talking to some rep's that i have known for years..this is a rumor but 99 out of a hundred times it's true.

Ford is selling Volvo the most profitable part of the company to aquire more liquid cash flow.

The Big wannabe's Ford,GM and Chr are talking about becoming one
unit by 2013..you heard it here first.

wait till you see the job losses..
what part of ??you can't make a decent auto !! didn't they understand.......
it was all about trucks and V8'S.

but it was a good brunch..lots of speculation rite now and a hell of alot of bushfires.

Alberta sale's are still strong but the rest of the world they suck.
Toyota is starting to grab the truck market,as per quote.
(the old rednecks are dying off and the new generation are buy more Pacific Rim Vehicles)

Can Somebody say Damage Control Now.... :shock:

The Ford selling volvo news is pretty old. A year ago they were poking around seeing who would buy volvo.

heard the ford chrysler merge rumour......hope GM doesnt have to as well

as far as pacific rim trucks go, this redneck wont switch over until they gimme a diesel getting 23+ mpg on the highway with 340+hp and 600+ torques...those gas motor's might be great for the city but well, not when you gotta tow long distances/trek through the bush/both (many factors, more weight easier to drive, torque as of NOW, how availiable diesel fuel is in remote areas = more so, considering all the heavy trucks and equipment use it as well)

ciao
