Interviewed Nov 2011 in Asheville, NC (took 3 weeks)
Had a phone interview with the recruiter from an outside firm who then forwarded my information on to the supervisor at Volvo. Had a phone interview with him. Flew down for an in person interview a few weeks later (time delay because he was traveling and I wasn't in a rush). Interviewed with Supervisor and two other people in the position I would be in to see if I would work in the group dynamic. Interviewed with Director of Sales and Director of HR as well. Had lunch, saw the machines and headed home. Volvo covered all my costs for the flight and hotel. The interview was actually useful. It wasn't scripted, it wasn't a personality test. It was just a nice conversation about what I've done and what experiences I've had and where I want my career to go.
Negotiation Details
I was negotiating through a recruiting agency since they were the ones that originally found me. I simply showed them what I was currently making, cost of living estimates, raise estimates, ETC and told them they need to make it work my while to move, and they did.
Other Details
I got the interview through a Recruiter and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview and a Group/Panel Interview.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Shippensburg, PA (took a day)
The interviewers were polite and nice. The senior engineers took time to describe the company, as well as the function of each department. Unfortunately, I later found out from the hiring manager that the position I was interviewing for was already put on hold: I still do not understand, why the company interviews candidates with no intent to hire or a position already placed on hold.

Interviewed Aug 2010 in Shippensburg, PA (took a day)
initial phone interview with an HR person and a purchasing manager. Fairly formatted questioning. Didn't go well, so I was surprised to get an invite to meet in person. Volvo paid up front for air fare and hotel but I had to pay out of pocket for rental car. To date I have NOT been reimbursed, despite faxing and mailing proper documentation for reimbursement. I could have found a rental car for a lot less than the one they booked for me.
They were looking for someone from a large corp background and that wasn't me.
