Win-Win for Ford - they get rid of the hassle of RUNNING the business, but they still get business by way of supplying engines.

There are also reports Ford may sell Volvo of Sweden.

Where is Ford heading and why?
Fiat have indicated they are not interested.

Ford needs cash. Volvo, Jag and LR together will get them about $10 Billion. Now thats a lot of money.

Wonder when they will get rid of the Mazda stake too.
