Volvo Trucks and Volvo Cars are 2 separate entities now. One has nothing to do with another other than sharing trademark. So, it has nothing to do with the engine or tranny dev between the 2 companies. Yes, Volvo T5 is sweet but now that they are under Ford, anything can happen. But again, I personally think that Ford will leave Volvo alone to decide on its car engine. Owh.. did Paul just mentioned that this is just Concept? Err.. 2015? It might go into production.. if and only if Ford is not bankrupt or Volvo is not sold to let say Ah Beng Motors. However, I believe IF Volvo is going to be sold to SAIC or TATA, the concept will live on. p/s: there are a lot of buts and ifs there.. ;) Please correct me if I’m wrong.

Borrowed from a mustang or the GT4? Well, at least some technologies transfer from the time it was under the Ford wings. Hopefully it will not follow korea's car makers which have plenty of imagination but somehow lack of technologies in the power plant and tranny departments. Anyways, the above is a great departure from the boxy design Volvo is so used to, and somehow quite handsome. But what about its powerplant? Borrowed from a mustang or the GT4?
