In order to stop climate change, emissions of greenhouse gases must be decreased from currently around seven tonnes per person and year to one tonne. Three Swedish companies, A-hus, Vattenfall and Volvo Cars initiate a world-first test, in which a family will try to achieve one-tonne emission level, yet at the same time live a regular life.
The R-Design versions of the Volvo S60 and V60 comes with an even more improved chassie: A strut brace gives the car more direct steering feel, it has monotube damping at the rear, shorter and stiffer springs, even firmer bushings and the new Corner Traction Control system provides even smoother progress in curves. This video is shot in northern Italy and Switzerland with a Red camera.
This is the first official PR video of the all new Volvo V60, the estate version of Volvo S60. Music by the Swedish band Mustasch. Video is shot in the LA area.

FULL VOLVO XC60 INFO @ INSIDELINE.COM: www.edmunds.com After driving the 2010 Volvo XC60 through our slalom test at 65.1 mph — the second-fastest speed we've recorded in this vehicle segment — two observations were easy to make: 1) This SUV handles — probably better than it needs to; 2) will anyone care? After all, we don't know any Volvo owners who list "lightning-quick reflexes" among their top purchase priorities. But maybe that's just it. Maybe Volvo is expanding its horizons. You certainly won't catch us complaining that any crossover utility vehicle handles too well. As a result, one thing is certain: Volvo realizes that performance is a priority in this segment. And by that measure, yes, people will care. But there are other benefits as well.

FOR PRICING & SPECS ON THIS CAR VISIT: www.kbb.com Volvo C70. Although the first retractable hard top-convertible was introduced decades ago, the concept has only recently caught on with car makers. Combining the security and all-weather comfort of a coupe with the drop-top fun of a convertible, the Volvo C70 has plenty to offer those who want the best of both worlds. Welcome to our comprehensive Kelley Blue Book review of the Volvo C70. The C70 may be a convertible but it is first and foremost, a Volvo. Reinforced roof rails, pop-up roll bars and door-mounted side-curtain airbags offer drivers the level of safety theyve come to expect from the brand that has become synonymous with safe car.
