I'm surprised at how up-beat everyone is about this.. It's kind of ironic they already own the very definition of the indestructible American muscle car - the Hummer - and God knows how that will impact sales of those vehicles.. But Chinese/communist ownership of Volvo might not bode well for Volvo's image. As many of you have mentioned, there's the impression that China's manufactured consumer goods often sacrifice quality and safety (ironically, both icons of Volvo in consumer's minds), and then there's the belief that many Americans have had enough with China taking our jobs, money, and so on and might not give the car consideration knowing this..
