Thanks for the clarification. I knew that Volvo was only planning to sell about 5,000 units but I didn't realize that only the long wheelbase S60 was going to be imported from China. I agree that it's likely to be a non-event.

I always thought it was interesting that Honda limited the Chinese-built Fit to the Canadian market - I'm guessing they made a decision that importing a Chinese-built/Honda branded vehicle to the U.S. would be too controversial.
