I think they should make a XC50 and change the name of XC90 to XC80 because the even numbered are crossovers and odd are tall wagons. Maybe they can make a V90 from the S80 and then make a XC90 from that.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Austin]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 27th 2007 4:16PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/27/report-volvo-plans-xc30-cuv-to-join-v30-wagon-and-c30-hatch/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/27/report-volvo-plans-xc30-cuv-to-join-v30-wagon-and-c30-hatch/</guid><description><![CDATA[No, that's too complicated for anyone but Volvo fans to understand. I say XC should be a trim level (like it was) and crossovers to have an A range (à la the Volvo Adventure concept which turned into the XC90).]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ethan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 28th 2007 1:44AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/27/report-volvo-plans-xc30-cuv-to-join-v30-wagon-and-c30-hatch/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/27/report-volvo-plans-xc30-cuv-to-join-v30-wagon-and-c30-hatch/</guid><description><![CDATA[Makes sense given the great reviews CUVs like the Tiguan have been getting.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[zamafir]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 27th 2007 4:25PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/27/report-volvo-plans-xc30-cuv-to-join-v30-wagon-and-c30-hatch/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/27/report-volvo-plans-xc30-cuv-to-join-v30-wagon-and-c30-hatch/</guid><description><![CDATA["Clearly, however, Volvo sees future profits by filling out it's small car lineup....."<br><br> Wasn't just a week ago that AutoBlog was telling us that Volvo expected to drop the smaller models and concentrate on upscale, luxury models?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[stang fan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 27th 2007 4:38PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/27/report-volvo-plans-xc30-cuv-to-join-v30-wagon-and-c30-hatch/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/27/report-volvo-plans-xc30-cuv-to-join-v30-wagon-and-c30-hatch/</guid><description><![CDATA[So, Volvo [at least at the bottom of the range] becomes a slightly more upmarket Mazda?

Ford has proved time and time again they can not manage a company of luxuxry or even near luxury( Lincoln, Mercury, Jaguar, Land Rover, Aston Martin). Ford is a terrible managing firm they are good at allainces though, Mazda. Volvo is headed down the same road of Jaguar in a sense. Volvo dropped the S40 and V50 in favour of the C30, V30, and XC30. Now the S60 will grow in size to compete with its rivals, and now wagon as so reported to accompany it. I hope that the report is not true to wagon portion. Volvo need to bring the V50 as the wagon for the next S60 sedan. Volvo seem to be having a problem in product. The XC90, S80, V70, XC70, S60, and XC50 are all to be produced in Torslanda, they need to introduce a new sedan and wagon ( S100 and V90) to be the range topper since they dropped the S40. Then the C30, V30, Xc30, and possibly a small compact true sports car needs to be produced at Ghent. Now the C70, a smaller convertible possibly the C50, and a large four door convertible ( C90) can be produced at Uddevella). Volvo is a really good brand but i think if AB Volvo were to buy back the majority share of Volvo or Investor AB, Ford wont be able to damage Volvo the way they are doing them today. I am a volvo loyalist myself but at the rate Volvo is going under Fords umbrella, Audi looks like a much better choice. Volkswagen can manage companies quite well just look, VW, Audi, Seat, Skoda, Lambro, Bentley, and Bugatti. All of these brands are flourishing. Ford needs to sell majority of Volvo shares to a suitor in Sweden.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[volvfan88]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 28th 2007 9:34AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/27/report-volvo-plans-xc30-cuv-to-join-v30-wagon-and-c30-hatch/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/27/report-volvo-plans-xc30-cuv-to-join-v30-wagon-and-c30-hatch/</guid><description><![CDATA[Maybe, maybe...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[pheer6224]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 28th 2007 11:13PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
