geely purchase of volvo is brilliant,it gives them instant access to 2,500 established dealerships,world wide.
they have great vision of the new auto world.
i beleive they will improve the volvo brand.
the stock is a great value right now and will continue to be long into the future.
as buffet says find a good company and try to take a large position.
my crystal ball tells me to aquire and hold this stock.
i think if you dont get in now you will have missed a great opportunity!

Arguably, the last real volvo was pre-Ford involvement.

I THINK GEELY IN GOOD FINANCIAL CONDITION TO PURCHASE VOLVO. HOWEVER THERE NORTH AMERICAN EXPERIENCE IN THE DETROIT AUTO MARKET PUTS THEM IN THE SIMULATE CATAGORY. WILL THE GROWN UP AUTO MANUFACTURES ALLOW THIS PURCHASE TO GO THROUG? YES…..IF THERE ARE NO OTHER NORTH AMERICAN MANUFACTURES COMPETING. IF GEELY IS COMPETING WITH ANOTHER CONTINENT, I.E. EUROPE (BMW) ASIA (NISSAN OR TOYOTA)IT IS VERY POSSIBLE THE ACQUISITION MIGHT HAPPEN.

Volvo is an evergreen brand, a well-spring of safety innovation that won’t end. Volvo is all about Safety and Family. The brand doesn’t do “bling” or gas mileage. Volvo adds instant legitimacy to anyone purchasing them. Ford had legacy and used Volvo like a cheap $2 _hore. Volvo is Cinderella and anyone with the scratch and can put the right people in place and allow the Vikings to run the business, they’ll be pleasantly rewarded.

As a former Volvo owner (S-70SE and a XC90) I hope that Geely – if they are serious about Volvo – maintains the Volvo ethic of engineering and producing cars that are not only built intelligently (ensuring user-replaceable components are cheap and easy to replace, car is sturdily built, etc.) but also built with occupant and pedestrian safety in mind. I’m pretty sure that’s something mainland China could use in spades.

This would help Volvo, by giving it a leg up on competition in the Chinese domestic market. It would help both organizations by giving them something they need: on the one had, a market, and on the other, improved engineering and technology expertise. Makes sense to me.

Geely is just a copy rejected company that the Chinese government should just ban. Chery is the only company that is going in the right direction and they should be the one buying vovlo.

Acquiring Volvo technology, inc up coming R&D would lift Geely onto the world stage within a year, and would leapfrog their competitors in terms of quality, and safety within 2 years.

The Geely CEO is a smart, smart man.

Geely don’t want to buy volvo though, Geely should just grow organically instead.

I really think a takeover by Chang’an would make a lot more sense. I really question Geely’s ability to take on Volvo or do anything with it.

Volvo sold in past nearly 50% of it cars in the USA. There is no need to talk about the US car markt any more. The only concept would be to increase the number of cars produced on Volvo platforms which is in our days FORD platform. If someone sees the possibility that Geely make about half to one million cars on new Volvo / Geely platforms then it would be a only good idea to buy VOLVO in case there is enough cash to compensate the losses of VOLVO for the next years.
