Q: Does anyone know when the 2011 Volvo s60 Hits the market?
I’m in the market to buy a new car and thought 2011 Volvo looks pretty good!

A: fall 2010

Q: Will the 2011 Volvo S60 feature the ecoboost v6?
Just want to know if it will have the v6 ecoboost that the taurus sho has. what do you think?

A: I doubt it.

Eagle – Ford has owned Volvo 1998 and has been trying to SELL them since 2008.

Q: Does anyone know if the 2011 V60 Volvo wagon will compare in length to the new 2010 Volvo S60?
Are they the same length?
I meant so say HOW it will compare in length.

A: In the past the estate have been about the same length as the saloon version. In some cases like the S90 and V90 the wagon was a few inches shorter.

Q: My 2011 Volvo C70 T5 question… Thanks…?
So I’m looking at this one 2011 Volvo C70T5 and this is what it pretty much what it has… I want to know if you think its worth it…

Black Paint on the outside…
Upgraded ‘18 inch alloy wheel rims…
Wind blocker
Trunk Spoiler
BLIS (Blind Spot Protection System)
All of the Packages were built into this car…Navi also… and back seat TVs (Climate, Convenience, Dynamic, and Multimedia, which I don’t really know if I need them all… but it already has it so no choice really…)
Upgraded (kinda fake light looking, LOL) wood interior
Sovereign Hide Premium Black Leather with all black interior areas (Wheel, with the wood upgrade)
Sports Petals
Sport Floor Mats…
The total price wanted is $57,995… I can buy it if I really want to… just wanna see if you Volvo guys think it would be a “good” move? Thanks!
and if anyone else out there owns a C70, (Preferably a 2011) could you tell me how you like it? Thank You again!

A: I would not fully agree with the first answer.
To say straight up, don’t expect a toyota from a volvo. You cant even compare them. A toyota is a basic car that all you do is put in gas and change oil. Now a volvo is very different.
They are awesome cars in many ways, and a lot of people love them and always buy them. They are great on gas, are very comfortable, reliable, safety is a big key, etc!
It has awesome looks and performance. Its also among the top in its category in many ways. So i LOVE volvo and would definately recommend get one. Now heres the downside. Modern Volvo’s can be quirky, and each model has its “recall/problem” Now the reviews and ratings on this model/year are very high so i dont see a problem. And again, if you have the money for a volvo, i would expect you have the money for the maintenance.
Heres the truth:: Volvo has really strong transmissions and engines, but in some cases if you get unlucky, everything else will go sooner or later. Now it shouldnt be a reason to not get it, just be ready. The key in maintaing a volvo is being proactive instead of reactive in terms of repairs. Find a good independant volvo shop to take the car to (unless you have money/prefer to go to the dealer). Meaning if your mechanic says fix something, i would do it instead of wating until 20 other things go wrong because you decided to not fix the main problem. I love everything about volvo, so get one!! i had 4, 2 totaled for various reasons, so now left with 2, time for more!

Q: 2010/2011 Volvo XC60 R-Design question…? Thank You!?
I was wondering, with the R-Design interior, do you have to have the two tone leather inside? Or could I just go with the solid black or beige?
Thanks again for your answers!

Volvo4Life.

A: With the XC60 yes, you have the two tone leather option.

However, you might need to special order the exact Volvo model you want (most of the floor models fail to meet all quality’s for the shopper)

Q: Is there any chance that the Volvo S40 is getting a face lift on 2011?
It is not a secret that Volvo is giving back about $6000 in cash rebates to customers during the month of November, this is in addition to included maintenance and other goodies.
To me, this sounds too good to be true, so I was wondering if anyone suspects that Volvo is pushing all this cars out of the production line to come up with a new line with a newer design, that will make those customers that bought a 2010 upset once they know that they that their cars are not the latest model (that includes me). I wonder if this is the reason or there’s any other reason that I should be aware of.
I heard that Volvo changes their lines about every 6 to 8 years and I think this new S40 came out with this line in 2004. Also, something that kind of gives me a clue is that almost all of the Volvo line is getting a rebate but S80 and S40 are substantially higher than the rest, I wouldn’t doubt that both S40 and S80 would get a face lift at the same time based on the similarity of the models. Thanks in advance for your answers.

A: Always a chance.

Q: Why is the new Volvo S60 so slow?
Hi guys, I’ve been researching the new 2011 Volvo S60 set for release later this year, because my uncle is looking for a new car, and I looked at the T6 Volvo S60, and it looked decent, had the exact same size engine as a BMW 335xi and an Audi S4, he’s also considering a lexus IS350.
Here are some specs, and you’ll see why the volvo confuses me

2011 Bmw 335xi Coupe
Horsepower=300
Torque=300ft/lbs
Curb Weight=3814
0-60MPH=5.3 Seconds
Price=$42,600
Audi S4
Horsepower=333
Torque=325ft/lbs
Curb Weight=3850
Price=$45,900
0-60MPH=4.9 seconds
Curb weight=3924 pounds

Lexus IS350
Horsepower=306
Torque=277ft/lbs
Curb weight=3500 lbs
0-60=5.5 Seconds
Price=$37595

Lastly, the Volvo S60 T6
Horsepower=300
Torque=320ft/lbs
Curb Weight=3900 lbs
0-60MPH=6.2 Seconds
Price in USD=$37700

By the end of reading the specifications, the Audi S4 is obviously the fastest, though about $7000 more than the Volvo or Lexus, they’re all still between $37500-46000, which is a reasonable price range for this sort of performance.
What I’m wondering is; Why is the Volvo S60 SO SLOW in comparison to the Bmw, because the (76lb) weight difference wouldn’t slow the car down 0.9s, because the Volvo has more torque!
Is it something to do with the transmissions that volvo uses, compared to Bmw, or is there something wrong with the numbers that Volvo is giving us?

A: There is more to acceleration than peak power and peak torque. The gearing might be setup for better mileage instead of acceleration. Does it make a lot of torque everywhere like the BMW or only near its peak?

Q: Which Chinese car is better? Geely Emgrand GT hybrid coupe or Geely Volvo S60 sedan?
Emgrand car: http://www.autoblog.com/2010/04/25/beijing-2010-geely-emgrand-gt-plug-in-hybrid-coupe/

Volvo car: http://www.autoblog.com/2010/03/02/volvo-s60-2011-geneva-motor-show/

A: Jap cars are better!

Q: Which Chinese car looks better? Emgrand GT plug-in hybrid coupe or Volvo S60 sedan?
Emgrand GT: http://www.autoblog.com/2010/04/25/beijing-2010-geely-emgrand-gt-plug-in-hybrid-coupe/

Volvo S60: http://www.autoblog.com/2010/03/02/volvo-s60-2011-geneva-motor-show/

Volvo is the wholly-owned Swedish subsidiary of the Chinese automaker Geely so I counted Volvo cars as Chinese cars.

A: Volvo is owned by Ford Motor Company, and has been since 1997. Until then, the cars were made in Sweden, but I believe that now, they’re made in the US.

In any case, I choose the Volvo, although I do prefer the older, boxy sort rather than the weird lumpy ones they have now.

EDIT: Alright, I have searched and Ford is in the process of selling Volvo to Geely, however, the deal is not expected to be completed until later this year. Volvos are still made in Sweden, but it is possible that Geely will open a plant in Beijing to make cars for the Chinese market.

Q: Which Chinese car is better? Geely Emgrand GT hybrid coupe or Geely Volvo S60 compact sedan?

Geely is manufacturer, Emgrand and Volvo are brands, GT and S60 are car names.

A: None of ur links work.

A: You should also consider that such a car may be expensive to insure. Check your insurance rates before buying one, for example here – carquotes.sinfree.net

Q: Which convertible would you choose?
Out of these four choices, which would you choose to own for 10+ years? (considering the car would be brand new)

-2010 Infiniti G37 Sport 6MT

-2011 Volvo C70

-2010 VW Eos

-2010 Lexus IS C

And why? I’m especially looking for opinions stated on safety, reliability, handling, navigation systems if they come with it, speakers, and seating.

Thank you so much, all answers are greatly appreciated! :)

Q: Which Chinese car looks better? GT ( Geely Tiger ) or S60?

Volvo is the Swedish wholly-owned subsidiary of the Chinese automaker Geely, so I counted Volvo cars as Chinese cars.

A: S60 – only because I’m a little older, more conservative and tall. If I was younger definitely the Geely, I just don’t think I could fold up enough to get in and out of it now(lol)

>_<
