Chinese Volvo?

Sigh, it's such a shame GM & Ford bought out Saab & Volvo who were successful companies on their own for years, only to destroy their reputations for quality, and then sell them off again to the highest bidder a few years later when they flop because they can't sell anyone their own cars. Half the replacement parts you find anymore for anything anymore are Chinese and total junk and just break again in half the time the originals lasted. The coil packs on my dad's Jeep (along with who knows what else) are Chinese, and he's already had 2 of them stop working in less than 50,000 miles. You'd think the companies would have learned something about quality from buying them out instead of just forcing their 'build em to last a couple years' policies on them. (Chrysler, too, with their stake in Damiler). GM even killed off Saturn after looking to sell them, which while I would never buy one, was one of their better-selling brands today.
