We have to give Volvo and lead designer Thomas Ingenlath quite a bit of credit for the round of concept cars they've released over the past eleven months. Not only are they exceedingly stylish, they demonstrate a pretty exciting direction for a brand that has come to be the standard bearer for the family-friendly vehicles.

Now, we've gotten our first look at the first production car to wear the new design language. Introducing…

When it comes to the winning qualities of our lineup that matter most to our customers, safety almost always tops the list. With gas prices climbing like they have been, fuel-efficiency and performance tend to trail close behind. Lucky for our customers here at McLaughlin Volvo, our engineers are pulling out all the stops to ensure that they'll have all three.

It was Dead Poet Society that taught us the importance of art, as Robin Williams states: "And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for."

Engineering and technology may be the things that bring the car together, that make it run and entertain us on the road. They are…

Here at McLaughlin Volvo, we are pretty impressed by the new Volvo V40 video. It not only shows how unique this car is, but it lets you actually interact with the video. You can click on the part of the car that you're most interested in hearing about, and it will immediately skip to a part of the video that talks about that part of the car. Try it out for yourself.

Volvo is a Swedish company through and through, and for American's who haven't traveled abroad to the country you may not know much about the culture, except for the fact that clean simplicity is more revered than garish design.

To give people a bit of fun knowledge on Swedish culture and traditions, the truck division of Volvo teamed up with the Swede actor Peter Stormare (known for his roles in The Big Lebowski and Fargo) in a hilarious online series.

In America we don't have Lagom, but we do know the feeling of trying to find the…

One of the latest Volvo commercials to hit the airwaves recently caught our attention. The commercial was for the new 2015 V60 but it was produced for this year's National Film Festival for Talented Youth of which Volvo is a major sponsor.

In today's age of crossovers and minivans, children no longer get to experience the magic of sitting in those rear-facing jump seats that were ubiquitous with station wagons of yesteryear. This…

"Autonomous" is the automotive buzzword of the 2010's and automakers all across the globe are working their hardest to make this far-off future dream a reality we can enjoy within our lifetimes. Our favorite Swedish brand is, of course, among them and bringing some incredible visions of what could be with their Drive Me project. From the parking lot to the highway, more efficient use of space and good communication between cars will mean…

They've got safety, they've got style. And if you read our blog, you'll know that the Volvo lineup is about to get even more of that going forward. Later this year, we're supposed to get our first look at the 2015 XC90 SUV, and we're pretty stoked. Now, an intrepid artist has given us a pretty neat look at what the new model could look like.

While the "rendering" aspect…

If it weren't for the professionals in our service department here at McLaughlin Volvo, we don't know what we'd do. Don't get us wrong, we treat our cars with more tender loving care than is probably healthy, but there's only so much you can do to account for wear, tear and whatever the road sees fit to throw your way.
