ETS - Electronic Throttle Control - Volvo Should Be Ashamed of Themselves!!!

posted by  someone claiming to be Ray N. on  Thu Feb 5 07:11 CST 2004 [RELATED]

Due to vehicle design lead time Ford has not really impacted any
engineering on Volvo's current models. Well, the very new S40 just
release in Europe could be an exception. But 70, 80 and 60 series
cars came out well before Ford aquired Volvo.

Ford did just announce new models that will sell under the Ford brand
based on Volvo chssis. Basically Volvo chassis with Ford V6 powertrains.
One is a sedan and other is a new SUV. I'd say Volvo is influencing Ford
more then the other way around.

Although, Ford could influence customer support of the existing models.
If they wanted to extend warranties for elctronic throttles they could
do so.
