2007 Volvo S80 Preview
|
| What we think |
|
|
 |
Like Acura with its 2004 RL, Volvo’s 2006 S80 flagship is in major need of a redesign. Competitors, new and old, have relegated the Scandinavians to the back of the premium/luxury segment. With an attractive and contemporary design, inside and out, coupled with two noteworthy engines, the 2007 Volvo S80 should lead shoppers to consider this sedan as more than a safe librarian’s car. If it’s priced right and handles as well as the smaller S40, a spike in sales might not be too far off. Photos courtesy of Volvo

About Thom Blackett
Thom Blackett joined Autobytel in 2000 as a Research Analyst with the company's data division, Automotive Information Center (AIC). After four years of pouring through press kits searching for minute details, Thom jumped to Autobytel's editorial team. Born and raised in the state of Maine (no, it's not part of Canada and yes, the proper pronunciation of lobster is "lobstah"), Thom has always been a car nut, using his grandmother's potholders as steering wheels to "drive" around the house as a youngster. His biggest sorrow is never getting to know his grandfather's 1959 Caddy, or the '62 Impala Convertible and '69 Chevy Malibu that his parents once owned. As Autobytel's Road Test Editor, Thom strives to write articles that serve to inform as well as entertain. A proud member of the Motor Press Guild, Thom holds a bachelor's degree from the University of Maine. Comments may be emailed to thomb@autobytel.com.
