If the market demands high quality parts, someone will provide them. 850 spring seats suck, XC90 ones are much better. Much of IPDs business is making parts that exceed OEM in one way or another.

I'm not worried about the new ownership as of yet. Any changes they're implementing will take a few years to come out in the cars. Since I can't afford a Volvo until it ages, it will be even longer until it'd affect me. Geely acquired Volvo in MY2011, I'm willing to bet the S60 redesign was still under Fords call.

I'm hoping the acquisition brings diesels and hybrids to the US market. VWs just don't fit me as well as a Volvo.
