The Volvo S80 Snags IIHS Top Safety Pick Award
Flagship Volvo sedan makes available a full array of safety and luxury features.
In the world of premium full-size sedans, most automakers focus on combining luxury and performance without considering an equally important, yet often overlooked, vehicle characteristic. Emphasizing speed, agility and comfort without accentuating safety ignores one of the most important aspects of an automobile: its ability to protect the precious cargo that it carries inside. This realization is the driving force behind the 2010 Volvo S80 sedan.

Washing, Polishing and Waxing 101
Proper paint maintenance can dramatically extend the life – and looks – of your car’s paint.
Don’t be alarmed, but the environment has declared war on your car – more specifically, on your car’s paint. If you live near a major city, then the finish on your vehicle is coming under constant attack from atmospheric pollutants, whether they are from tailpipe emissions, factory smokestacks or even oil-burning stoves in your neighborhood.

Looking through the eyes of a master painter can show us aspects of our lives that we may have never before considered. However, what if the artist in question wasn’t able to offer us a view through his eyes because they have been blind since birth? What would the artist have to teach us from behind his veil of darkness? This is exactly the question that Volvo set out to answer with its unique introduction of the Volvo S60.

Volvo and Burton Team Up on the Slopes
Partnership expands the appeal of professional and amateur snowboarding around the world.
Sweden is a nation of short, resplendent summers and long winters. There is no doubt that snowy conditions have played a significant role in the design of Scandinavian vehicles, in particular the robust all-wheel drive wagons, sedans and SUVs produced by Volvo. This northern influence has also shone through with regard to the sporting events Volvo has thrown its substantial influence behind – not the least of which being the international spectacle that is professional snowboarding.
