Didn't even know it was up for sale, but I don't really see it being a good thing. Hopefully I'll be proved wrong.

can't see it as a bad thing. it has opened up the doors for sales of volvo to china. i think there economy is a bit more stable than ours at the moment.
Anything is better than the engine robbing, debt ridden previous owners.

I think that the sale of Volvo to china is Wong... rrrery rrrery Wong

Yeah... lets say the Chinese make the next S60R into their 'skyline beater'
who'd be complaining then?
Only problem is ... it may have one of those golden nodding cats on the dash...
It's going to be called the "Pantry Boy Supreme Wowlvo S60 R"

Well, i must say i am shocked, sad and dissapointed all at the same time, gone is the reputation of a quality built product with a reputation of solid build, tank like safety and being able to last for many years.
Hello to low rent budget build, shoddy materials, cost cutting, etc etc etc etc, i shudder to think what the future holds for wolwo.
Its gunna be one of those cases is`nt it, you know.... the "They dont build `em like they used to" thing!
D`oh. what have they done!!!!!!

It's the year 2015...... walk into a bar... try to look manly.
"is that your car outside mate? looks good. What is it?"
"It's a *cough* pantry boy supreme Wowlvo S60R"
The thing is ... no one will dare laugh, The Triads now sponsor Wowlvo.
