Why leave it alone?

Just because it may have been the only division to turn a profit does not mean that you leave it alone, it also doesn't mean that you start selling re-badged Mazdas as Volvos. It's somewhere in between. It would not make a lot of sense for Ford to pay $6.5B for Volvo, turn it into Mazda and turn off all the Volvo faithful. Ford expects a lot from Volvo, and frankly, Volvo should expect something from Ford. I have owned a Mazda and a Ford and daresay they were quite a bit more reliable than what I read about on these threads. That said, I like Volvos for their engineering and safety. Your platform sharing concerns are groundless, IMHO.
