The review of options for Volvo probably will take several months, Dearborn, Michigan-based Ford said today in a statement. Shedding the Swedish unit would complete the unwinding a two- decade strategy of diversifying by buying European luxury brands. Volvo, acquired in 1999 for $6.4 billion, was retained after a similar evaluation last year. -- The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt. —Bertrand Russell Mark this post as an answer to my question<- Use this feature to mark quality replies to your post.
