P.L.R.: seduction operation at Volvo in China

Volvo produced in China a longer version of the S80 (S80 L) in the plant-ChangAn Ford-Mazda. Volvo expected 20 000 S80 L per year, but production is approximately 8 000 units and imports are confidential. We must therefore get out the heavy artillery: two girls dressed lightly with a C30 and C70 rose.

Again, this is more of the "pin-up slightly racoleuse" but flatly soliciting active (Volvo)! Nevertheless, let us not be hypocritical, so Interview. It can be said that the Swedish manufacturer has fallen well below, but if they had photos of "normal" I would not have written articles and you would not have viewed the gallery…

Please note in passing, on the fourth photo (resumed at the end), a gross error of photoshop.

The Chinese want to buy Volvo!

Officially, Volvo is not for sale. Nevertheless, possible contenders flock to the gate. Some cite Renault, eternal sea serpent But it is on the side of China that there are buyers…

There are 15 days, a rumor first reported an offer from SAIC (already owner of MG, Roewe and Ssangyong.) It was followed 2 days after a denial of the manufacturer.

Last week, DongFeng was informally candidate. Contrary to SAIC, it does not really own brand at the moment. As a result, it exports shortly. Take Volvo him would both have a brand and gain a foothold in international markets, particularly in Europe. DongFeng is the 3rd Chinese manufacturer and it depends directly on Beijing (like SAIC), where some financial power.

Today, a third was pretending to know: Chery. His attempts to collaborate with Fiat and Chrysler are in the process of turning the fiasco. The manufacturer is seeking to mount a range and buy the Volvo closer to this purpose. Chery is in the process of setting up a consortium of investors (where he would have the largest share of the cake.) What further reassure Ford, since the real state of finances of Chinese manufacturers is a question mark.
Curiously, so far, ChangAn (which produces S40 and S60 in its joint venture with Ford and Mazda) remains silent.
