Saw about 60 today. Stopped by the dealer to get a turbo boost pressure sensor screw, after replacing the sensor on my S60 with one for an S60R. Seems to be working, but the screw was rusted and I need a replacement.
On the road I was not counting but think I saw about 3. north of Boston, MA. Usually see a few every trip.

Hey there, I'm over in Enid!
I think I have one of maybe 4 Volvos in town here. I've seen a crappy beat up old white V70, a newer V70, and an XC90. Probably more, but that's all I've seen in my 6 months here so far.

In the Norwegian (somewhat wealthy) town where I live there's 100 Tesla for every single Volvo P80 but maybe 50/50 all Volvo's vs Tesla's (electric cars are heavily subsidized by the Norwegian government, no VAT, can be used in buss lanes and no congestion fees). A new V9O T6 is about the same price as a Tesla Model x.

Technically regular cars are really really heavily taxed making up for the difference between a model s and a new Volvo. Outcome is the same as subsidies though.

In my neck of the woods they are a bit more rare. A typical commute I will see F-150, F-150, F-150, F-150, Honda, F-150, F-150, F-150, Toyota, Tahoe, F-150, Silverado, E-250 (with a roll of carpet hanging out the back door), F-150, F-150, Transit Van........ At any given moment there is a good chance there is a F-150 in front of me, clogging up the left lane.
On a typical day with a 30 mile commute on the interstate I see 10 or fewer Volvos and often one is my wife.

Volvo cars are really popular here in Jacksonville and in Tampa as well. I see tons of 2016+ XC90s every day. I have seen pleanty of the new XC40s and even a few 2019 XC60s. I still see classic Volvo every week and pleanty of S80s but fewer and fewer 99-06 S80s, but plenty of the last body style S80, XC60, and S60s.
So I would estimate Volvo has a minimum of 5% market share here. June

We keep squinting into the rear view mirror, but she's not back there. I wonder why?
