Hmmm...Volvo is a Ford/Mazda subsid. and most of the Volvos are coming
out on Mazda frames these days.... I couldn't see GM selling Saab to
Ford and giving them more of the luxury/near luxury market (but to
think..Saab, Volvo and Jaguar in the same family!?!)
Personally, I can't see Ford adding Saab to the family when they have
Volvo and besides, could you imagine a mazda based Saab?
