Some believe that the largest dinosaurs, sauropods, were so big from head to
tale that when they hurt their tale, it took them a few minutes to even
realize they were injured. Perhaps Ford Motor Co. suffers the same problem as
exemplified by the
comments
on AutoBlog about the possible sale of Volvo:
There are so many people inside and outside of Ford saying so many
different things about Volvo that it's entirely possible the Swedish brand will
be sold and Ford won't realize it until weeks later.
The car enthusiast site goes on to offer a chronology of the press coverage
from the major metro dailies in Europe and the U.S. surrounding this weekend's
report, which started in
The
London Times before filtering back to the U.S., that Ford has indeed put
Volvo on the auction block. —Matthew Wurtzel
