VW forgot how to build excite g cars and now they're the worst selling brand of the VAG group besides exotics. Volvo isn't developing engines anymore and no one is interested in their EVs so they're going to fall way behind. Then they also have to keep Polestar in business which basically just sells the same cars under a different name. Unless they step it up and become a true Tesla rival I wouldn't be surprised to see Volvo out of the US market in 10 years.

EV are popular but they're still too expensive to build and sell in the $30-$35k range.
