    Review: 2013 Volvo C30 R-Design Polestar Limited Edition [w/video]     1362070680

    Last Hurrah Comes and Goes In A Hurry It isn't very often that we drive a new car that's already out of production, but that's exactly what has happened with this 2013 Volvo C30. After years of sluggish sales in the North American market, the last C30 quietly rolled off the assembly line back in December. But before that happened, Volvo decided to send ...

    Review: 2013 Volvo S60 T6 AWD R Road Test Review     1358621340

    Ticked Off Swede If the 2013 Volvo S60 T6 AWD R could speak, this is probably what it would say: "I'm ticked off. I'm tired of all of the automotive publications and web sites gushing over the latest M car from BMW, AMG car from Mercedes-Benz, or S car from Audi. Yes, those Euro rides are good machines, but I need some respect. Who else can give you ...

    Review: 2012 Volvo XC60 R-Design     1343835900

    Will Pumping Up With Polestar Make People Notice? There are injustices in the auto industry, just like in life. Sometimes the right person gets passed over for a job, the best player doesn't get to start or the wrong verdict is reached by a jury. And sometimes a good vehicle just doesn't get bought. That's what is happening with the Volvo XC60, which ...

    First Drive: 2013 Volvo V40 [w/video]     1339689420

    Forbidden Fruit For What Ails The Swedes in North America We've entered a really good period of automotive excitement if premium-minded European hatchbacks move you. Things just seemed to fall into place suddenly about six months back when it became clear that Mini's lineup was about to have fierce competition from the new Audi A3, soon-to-arrive new ...

    Review: 2011 Volvo S60     1296061080

    How Volvo Got Its Groove Back 2011 Volvo S60 – Click above for high-res image gallery During the 2010 Los Angeles Auto Show keynote, Volvo CEO Stefan Jacoby discussed his plans to shift the Swedish automaker away from the rest of the premium segment. This doesn't mean that the quality of materials or craftsmanship is going to suffer, but instead of ...

    Review: 2010 Lexus ES 350 is soft-riding royalty that's lost its crown     1280504700

    The entry-level luxury sedan segment doesn't command the enthusiast attention of, say, the ultra-premium luxury sports sedan. But if you ask automakers to choose between the two, we'd wager that most would rather have a best-in-class $35,000 sedan than a world-beating $70,000 (all figures in US) sports tourer. The reason? Very few fortunes are made ...

    Review: 2010 Volkswagen GTI - It's got its mojo workin' again     1274888760

    In 1983, Run-DMC was fresh (which meant dope), Volvo 760 Turbos weighed 3,300 pounds and the 2,200-pound Volkswagen GTI made its U.S. debut. In 2010, the Rabbit-turned-Golf entered its sixth generation and attempted to draw a clear line to the first-generation car. The historical link has been made especially clear in the 2010 Volkswagen GTI, though it's ...

    Review: 2009 Volvo XC90 R-Design     1262370540

    Volvo's V8 skate slices up wintry roads in style You could nearly call the Volvo XC90 R-Design a sled. They both amount to entertaining cold-weather conveyance, but a sled's a primitive contraption that slides over snow and hopefully goes in a straight line with little to no control. Rather, the XC90 digs into snow and ice, tears through its surface ...

    Review: 2010 Volvo XC60 delivers on looks and lux - handling, too. Nav? Not so much.     1249407360

    Volvo has seen better days. Just a few short years ago, the Swedish automaker was the lone bright spot in Ford's European luxury operation, boasting impressive sales and actual profits. Fast-forward to 2009, and the situation couldn't be more different. Sales are downright depressing, revenues are worse, and the automaker has a "For Sale" sign on the ...
