I share your concerns about platform sharing but, we can look at what Ford has done with Jaguar as to the direction that Volvo is heading for. Ford has done a fairly good job with Jaguar, they have only used common platforms for the new "entry level" Jags (x type) and they have kept their hands off the real Jags (XJS,XJ etc.) this is in spite of the fact the Ford acquired Jaguar 10 years ago, which is plenty of time to "fordize" all of Jags into Ford based platforms. I just don't think that Ford is about to re badge Fords, Mazda's as Volvo's. what makes you so certain that they are ? they haven't done that with Jaguar.
