First Drive: 2008 Volvo V70/XC70
Having spent a day driving, riding in, and poking around Volvo's new 2008 V70 and XC70 wagons, I sat down to brainstorm a list of adjectives and characteristics to describe the cars in hopes of generating a story lede. Reading them back sounded a bit like a personal ad for a sweet girl who hasn't ha more
First Drive: 2008 Volvo S40/V50
Volvo's entry level S40 sedan has led the last two full-line Volvo makeovers, each of which has met with critical acclaim. Despite the fact that the S40 and its V50 wagon sibling were last redesigned in late 2003 and are both still looking great, like vain Hollywood 30-somethings they've gone under more
Head to Head: 2007 Volkswagen EOS vs. 2007 Volvo C70
Volvo's new C70 was introduced in 2006 as a replacement for the previous softtop and coupe. It uses a new platform, shared with the S40 and V50. The Volkswagen Eos is a retractable hardtop with a twist-it's the only one on the market that incorporates a sunroof. more

Tuners: 2006 Evolve Volvo S60R
From a stop, plant the throttle, quickly fan the gears, and the family-friendly Evolve S60 cranks out a 4.7-second 0-to-60-mph run and nearly breaks into the 12s in the quarter. more
Long-Term Verdict: 2005 Volvo S40 T5 AWD
As the miles piled up, so did logbook comments. Most enjoyed the S40's simple interior styling, while some were put off by it. more
2007 Volvo C30
Brussels When Snow White and her clan hit the road, they must always roll out two Volvo C30 coupes--that's the only way they can accommodate all seven dwarfs. We bring up Snow White because the design of the new Volvo C30 pays homage to the 1971 Volvo 1800ES, more

First Drive: 2008 Volvo C30
Absolut hatchback. Like vodka, this Swede comes to party. Sexy. Playful. Young. Emotional. Not adjectives normally associated with a Volvo. Say hello to the all-new C30 hatchback. more
Fleet Update: 2005 Volvo S40 T5 AWD
We had the dealer check a driver-side front-seat heater that was no longer warming our backside. more

Volvo S80 - Seat Time
Volvo's big sedan has been a snore, but a new 2007 model (arriving Stateside next February) attempts to rouse it with a bit more performance, more safety, and more style. more
Fleet Update: 2005 Volvo S40 T5 AWD
The 2005 Volvo S40's cupholders are too shallow: One editor had to clean a spill from his travel mug after accelerating from a red light. more
First Test: 2007 Volvo S80
There's one element of Volvo's image it doesn't like to broadcast: The brand is a key icon of the stereotypical liberal--or, as University of California, Berkeley linguist Geoffrey Nunberg describes the demographic, the "latte-drinking, sushi-eating, Volvo-driving, New York Times-reading, body-pierc more
2007 Volvo S80
Volvo's S80 sedan was the company's first car to break out of the box, design-wise, but eight years on it's looking pretty dowdy. A redo for 2007 pushes the Scandinavian design thing even harder, adds the latest safety technology (big surprise there), and ups more
Long-Term Test Up-Date: 2005 Volvo S40 T5 AWD
Our Volvo S40 went in for its 15,000-mile service along with installation of a special-ordered driver-side seat track (to fix a clicking noise). more

2005 Volvo S40 Four Seasons Test
Volvos have been good-looking long enough to banish the sensible-shoes image that has dogged the Swedish brand for decades. We can thank Brit designer Peter Horbury for sculpting the once slab-sided boxes into sleek shapes while maintaining their uniquely Volv more
2007 Volvo C70 Convertible
It rains all the time in Hawaii. In the wetter regions, during the rainy season-the rest of the northern hemisphere's winter-spastic tropical rainstorms come almost often enough to set your watch by. It rains in the morning, it rains at night, and occasionally more
