It might be better than Ford, who has no money at all to spend on R&D to make Volvo actually compete with the big three.

It might be financially right for Volvo, but the side affects are not desirable, and sometimes more important. I understand Volvo is a company who wants to make money. We'll see, the article said they just want to go "window shopping". Hopefully one day, a european company will buy Volvo. Why did Volvo AB sell Volvo Cars in the first place anyway?
