Why do I say that "I can't believe it"? because I know that at Ford Motor Company, in product Development, there is a mandate to take $700.00 of cost out of each and every Ford Model,without a reduction of the vehicles MSRP by the way.
so these Volvo price reductions are just just a bit of a shock to me because it is just the opposite of what is going on at Ford Motor Company.

Now the $700.00 cost reduction is supposed to be on items that would be not be perceptible to the customer. i.e using a lower cost glove box hinge assembly, things that supposedly will not affect the vehicle's quality or the customers perception of decontenting or reduction of quality.

So perhaps this is what Volvo will be doing for the 2003 Model year?
