Within the past 10 years, Volvo has unveiled 10 unique concept models. To this day, many continue to shape the automaker's present and future design direction.

Many drivers have become familiar with the safety features, friendly cargo room, design attributes, and performance Volvo is famous for.   However, now Volvo is offering customers the ability to customize their vehicle.  We're talking about the 2012 Volvo XC60 or more specifically the all new Volvo XC60 Inscription to be exact.

The Senior Vice President of Marketing, Sales and Customer Service at Volvo articulates, "Many consumers we talk to have very exclusive, individual tastes…

By 2015, Volvo wants to sell up to 200,000 vehicles in China. By 2020, the company wants its global sales to reach 800,000. These are impressive and admirable goals, but thus far, the company has only 47,140 vehicles in the emerging Chinese market. Why is the Scandinavian automaker struggling to win over car buyers in China? It has very little to do with the quality found in a new Volvo. All it takes is one trip to Volvo of Burlingame, located at 900 Peninsula Ave Burlingame, CA 94010, to see that.

The problem that Volvo has selling…

When Volvo introduces a new safety feature; it tends to catch on with the general public. And to that extent, they tend to make their way into the lineups of other automakers too. For example, Volvo was the first automaker to introduce the modern three-point safety belt. They also were the first to equip a vehicle with a modern airbag. Both are now standard in every new car sold.

Most recently, Volvo has turned its attention from protecting those in the car to protecting those outside of the car. To this extent, Volvo has developed its "City Safety" crash avoidance…

If you were sorry to see the Volvo V40 go in 2002, you'll be happy to know it's making a comeback.

Why is the Volvo V40 deemed the perfect car to replace the Volvo V50 and S40? Well, as Volvo of Burlingame, serving Burlingame previously mentioned, the Volvo V40…

If you haven't read about the Volvo S60 on the Volvo of Burlingame blog, you've likely heard about it elsewhere. It offers a lot of talking points; and for the 2013 model year - one more: an all -new S60 T5 AWD variant.

Expected to arrive this summer, the new Volvo S60 T5 AWD, will grow the entire S60 range to four different models. Currently this includes the Volvo S60 T5, Volvo S60 T6 AWD, and Volvo S60 R-Design.

As you can imagine drivers who crave the mod Scandinavian style and award-winning safety of the S60, but don't…

Volvo is taking their automotive and safety acumen to a new kind of transportation: road trains. "Trains?" you ask. Trains.

Sure, we may have largely done away with the strings of large, boxy cars here in the U.S., but rail continues to color the landscape in Europe, where this project takes place. Volvo is one of seven European companies collaborating on the effort to make ultra-safe, hyper-efficient, environmentally-friendly road trains - the only automotive partner.

Officially coined SARTRE (Safe Road Trains for the Environment), the endeavor is slated to be finished by the end of 2012. In early testing, a…

The lively 2012 Volvo S60 isn't just full of power it's also loaded with safety. How do you know?  The S60 scored a perfect five out of five stars on the National Highway Traffic Safety Association's (NHTSA's) four, standard crash test categories: frontal, rollover, side poll (new) and barrier.  Volvo has always focused on drive and passage safety which makes this award so special to us.

This is an honor very few vehicle on the road have.  The factor that really sets the Volvo S60 apart from its competitors though is the car's standard City…
