Last month a crime took place that rocked Sweden, and us. You see, across the Atlantic Ocean in our preferred Scandinavian automaker's home country there's a Volvo P1800. As many of you know, this vehicle is a classic. It's a sporty two door coupe that's quite stylish, and this particular example was the model's very first example, which makes it even rarer.
At McLaughlin Volvo we're constantly boasting the real-world qualities that the models in our showroom offer drivers. Designed with a practical elegance, a plethora of safety features and hearty underpinnings to create thrilling driving dynamics, the Swedish automaker's lineup is delightfully down-to-earth. That's one of the many things that what we love about them.
In fact, it's those refreshingly realistic automotive qualities that many new Volvo drivers enjoy; so it makes…
Lately, we've found ourselves exuberantly discussing upcoming new Volvo models. There's simply so much to talk about. That's because, as you likely know, under the 2014 model year moniker, the Swedish automaker has been making several changes. All of which have drivers nationwide excited.
It was just recently that we were discussing our preferred Swedish automaker's aptitude for drivers' and passengers' well-being. Namely, Volvo was lauded with a 2013 Innovation Award for two of their progressive safety features: the Pedestrian Detection and Pedestrian Airbag Technologies. Now, in the limelight of this success, the auto brand is enjoying another impressive, and related, accomplishment.
Jerry Seinfeld is, without a doubt, a man with great comedic ideas. Of course he's best-known for Seinfeld, but his internet series is a side-splitter as well. For those of you unfamiliar, Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee is an array of episodes in which Jerry, along with a variety of his funny-minded friends, drive together to get a cup of java. As you may expect, hilarity typically ensues.
Occasionally there are rumors that fly through the automobile industry that are so ludicrous, at McLaughlin Volvo we can't help but chuckle. Certainly we respect the opinions of critics and competitors, but when we heard the theory that our preferred Swedish brand was leaving the states; well, that's simply tomfoolery.
When it comes to Volvo, a few characteristics come to mind: style, safety and performance. And, as many know, the Swedish automaker is revolutionizing their lineup with the introduction of new designs and fresh technologies; but they're not leaving these automotive traits behind. They're advancing them even further.
Recently there's been a lot of discussion surrounding our preferred Swedish automaker's Scalable Platform Architecture (SPA). That's because several redesigning models, including the Volvo XC90, scheduled to arrive in our Moline, IL showroom next year, will feature this fresh and flexible structure.
In the future, V8 engines will be obsolete. At least, that's if Volvo has anything to say about it. In fact, our favorite Swedish automaker is stretching their technological smarts, looking to revolutionize these car parts completely. That goal, excitingly, will bring drivers in the Moline area and beyond more power and efficiency.
