With all of the new models coming out, there is more focus on autos that are environmentally friendly. We see the phrase “fewer CO2 emissions” a lot more frequently nowadays. But what does it really mean? Most of us probably don’t have a clue what is coming out of the tailpipe of our Chicago S60. That’s where Volvo comes in. Let’s find out some more information about the Emissions Equality Campaign they’re launching. Continue Reading…

Amidst all the recent recalls and safety problems that have arisen on some autos, driving a vehicle that is safe is at the top of the list when it comes to what a driver is looking for. A safe auto should always be a priority when choosing a Chicago S60 or other model, but when there’s a lot of media coverage on a bad part or brand, you start to look at safety all that much more.

We’ve been waiting as patiently as possible for the new Chicago S60.  This mid size sedan is all new for the car year of 2011.  It comes equipped with many great features.  Let’s take a look!

Volvo has been promising a sporty sedan for awhile now.  In fact, there have been some past models that have done well in the “sport” category, such as the PV.  Now, it looks like the 2011 S60 might just be the sporty ticket they’ve been looking for.  Although, when you look at it, it doesn’t jump out at you and say, “I’m a sports car”, but there are some features that elude to that.  For example, when you take this attractive sedan around around a nice corner it does very well.  This is thanks to the corner traction control system that keeps the front of the car from “washing out”.  The engine is also designed to produce 300 HP, which is a good indication of a car that’s able to get around with some spunk!  Continue Reading…

Let’s just say that this concept car designed by a Volvo intern is possibly more exciting than any Volvo model you’ve seen in the past.  Thanks to Nouphone J. Bansasine, Volvo may have a premium sports car to compete in that class by the year 2015.

Bansasine designed this four door coupe during his time at the Volvo Monitoring and Concept Center.  This is the same place where the used xc90 Chicago, S80 and S60 came to life.  Great work has truly come out of these walls! Continue Reading…
