Based solely on the picture, I'd say Geely won. Geely Hopes to Boost Volvo Globally #picturesaysathousandwords
Most likely very good for Ford's bottom line, the sale of Volvo to China's Geely intrigues me only because they think within 4-5 years they can take sales to 1 million units globally. Increased sales is always the case when you read about new OEM owners of course, that's how they get shareholders and governments to fund these projects. What makes Geely so bullish? Why does Geely think they can do what Ford couldn't? Don't they know VW has plans to sell 1 million units in the U.S. alone? Who's market share are they going to steal?
Well the reality is they won't sell 1 million Volvo's in 405 years. while they think they can rely on domestic sales to achieve that lofty goal, the market is much different, and "safety" as your lead unique selling point hasn't been a domestic priority. Good luck.
