I read in this weeks AutoWeek and it said that Ford was trying to sell Jaguar and Land Rover. Fiat thought about buying both but turned them down. Then Renault-Nissan turned them down. THEN! Hyundai though about buying Jaguar for their lux division but then they turned them down! HAHAHA Nobody wants to buy them because Ford turned them into something bad! Ford just ruined to GOOD names! That's so funny to me... and FORD LOST SOME MOO-LAH!!!!

P.S. I hate Ford. Lincoln. Mercury. Mazda. Jaguar. Aston Martin. Land Rover. And last but still the ugliest... Volvo!

What are you talking about? My family owned pre ford Jags and they were terrible. The electric systems never worked and the engines had no power. My father bought a 97 XK8 back when they first came out and what a difference... sure it had minor electical issues (got to love bosch parts).

As for Volvo they make some of the best cars in the world, not only are they a pleasure to drive but the turbo'd models are rockets. We have an S60 in the household and its perhaps one of the best cars we've ever had.

I agree...

Volvos are cars that always have achieve unique and very stylish designs that set standards throughout Europe. They may not be as popular here, but neither are hatchbacks or compact 2 door coupes. The S40's and S60's are awesome sedans that are both reliable and extremely safe. I used to own a 2002 Subaru Legacy GT Limited and my friend had a 2002 S60 and it was faster, more comfortable and yet it was about 120 dollars cheaper to insure. Bastard!

Accents would probibly be death traps if it wasn't for some of volvo innovations in safety.

Mazda Won LeMans.... still waiting for hyundai to do some kind of racing again... and maybe win something.

Ford kinda helped hyundai out... they gave hyundai the cortina to build.

I'm sorry...

They aren't death traps?

Can't spell accident without Accent.

They are not that bad... not like a lambo where you burn to death if it sets fire while fliped (thats if you can not get the seatbelt off and window kicked out) or that Chinese car.

I don;t think it's the bosch parts... I think it's just the whole car. They rust FAST too.

Body rust was uncommon on Jags. Electrical problems are common though. The connectors corroded over time and nothing worked properly
