It's on its way to being a Chinese-owned brand.

Just like MG, which is now a brand owned by Shanghai Automotive Industrial Co. Or Jaguar Land Rover, owned by Tata Industries.

It's only a reductionist view in the very short term.

Both, Volve and JLR, are actually hreat examples of what can happen when the rich owner doesn't interfere with operations. JLR all of a sudden is doing great, building great cars as a kind of nieche luxury brand. Volvo the same. None did particulary well under Ford's ownership. Sadly, Saab was killed by GM before it could be saved.

In fact, JLR and Volvo were more "brands" under Ford ownership, as compared to now where both are independent car makers.
