A Scandinavian Success When Chinese automaker Geely Holding Group bought Volvo five years ago, I'll admit I wasn't optimistic for the iconic Swedish automaker. The buyout came after Ford bought the Swedish marque and held onto it for 11 years, and the less said about Ford's failure to drive sales for the manufacturer, the better. Perhaps the sole thing done right during Ford's ownership was the introduction of Volvo's first SUV, the revolutionary XC90 in 2002, which was met with critical acclaim by consumers and automotive media alike.
