The new 2007 Volvo S80 is based on the Ford Fivehundred (Taurus)/Mercury Montego platform, and the 2008 S60/V70 is also based on a modified version of this platform. The new 2008 XC70 is based on the Ford Freestyle platform.
Also, the V8 they offer in the XC90 and S80 is a Yamaha engine!
I have a 2004 V40, and under the hood most of the parts have "Ford" stamped on them already as of 2004.
Not that this is a bad thing....but it's clear that the Volvo/Ford relationship will go the same way the Saab/GM relationship has. For better or worse.
Nick.
