According to Swedish daily “Dagens Industri”, Chinese companies Dongfeng Motor and Chang An Automobile are interested in the acquisition of Volvo . These companies, together with Saic and Faw, are part of the Chinese Government’s auto company selection as brands that drive consolidation in the sector and make competitive products. They produce about two million vehicles a year. Volvo has already gained the attention of Chinese manufacturer, Geely, in the past, but the situation is currently very unclear. Volvo is currently waiting on the decision from the European investment bank group on the loan of 445 million euros. Come Easter, the future should be clearer. Meanwhile, Yang Jian from Automotive News China is convinced that Chinese manufacturers are not ready for the purchase of a company like Volvo , despite their large financial capacity. Problems to arise would be the management of the company, controlled by the Chinese state, and managers not competent in global operations. © Source...

The small luxury crossover segment promises to be one of the hottest this year. BMW pioneered the trend six long years ago with the X3. And now, the Mercedes-Benz GLK is touching down at dealers. The Audi Q5 will be in stores within a month or two as well. So in just five years, this group has swelled to six. What makes the XC60 stand apart from the crowd? Well, since it is a Volvo—inventor of the three-point seatbelt—safety, of course. Volvo says the XC60 is the safest car the company has ever produced. And considering Volvo's reputation, that's some statement. In addition to Volvo 's extensive repertoire of protection and prevention equipment—including a full complement of airbags, traction and stability controls, plus an optional blind-spot information system—the XC60 has something completely new: City Safety.
