I'm still rooting for you Volvo!  It's not looking good for you, though.  Hopefully the refreshed SUV's will help turn it around for you.

With China owning them they will stick around for a while, but they could of easily become a foot note in auto history. Eventually even with auto companies in China, we will still see another round of merges and deaths. There are still way to much manufacturing space on building auto's and too many companies. Be interesting to see who survives.
