Volvo couldn't survive making cars like this, so they had to change. they ditch their reliable method of building cars (the american way), and went all out on the nu-age of european car design. their brand identity changed from one of industrial to this pseudo luxury hipster aesthetic that they currently do. this made their reliability drop drastically but this is what europeans want. this is what makes volvo money. people would laugh at volvo if they dared make an engine that gets 60 HP per liter in the 21st century. even if its what their most reliable cars were.
