And you know why it's so well mannered? It's essentially a Volvo S80.
Volvo is essentially keeping Ford afloat in terms of shared platforms
and in terms of profitable sales. Volvo is the only profitable member
of Ford's PAG (Premier Auto Group - Jaguar, Rover, Aston Martin, and
Volvo).
Guess where Volvo's five cylinder motor is going to end up next? The
top of the line Euro Focus.
