I believe that Volvo is the only part of Ford's Premium Auto Group (PAG) that is making a profit. That group includes Volvo, formerly Aston, Jaguar, Land Rover/Range Rover, ect..

According to Jeremy Clarkson, you are incorrect. Aston is the only part of Ford that turned a profit.

If Honda were to buy Volvo, it'd be interesting. Honda = reliability, Volvo = safety, add them together.

Can you imagine a Jaguar with Honda reliability? That'd be a great car!
