The Color of your car says alot about your personality.

When you purchase a car...why do you choose the color that you do?

The colors tend to match the personality of the primary driver. For instance if you drive a black car, the driver would be more aggressive, even dangerous. Studies have show that black cars are involved in more collisions. On the opposite end of the spectrum the Silver cars drivers are more cool, calm, and collected. Silver still is the most popular color car purchased.

City Safety on the Naughty Volvo S60

The Naughty Volvo Tour is coming - bringing you the all New Volvo S60. With that will come a new safety feature called City Safety. City Safety collision avoidance technology is a Volvo world-first standard feature for safer urban driving. At speeds up to 30 km/h, this laser-based technology can sense if a vehicle in front within 6–8 meters is at a standstill or is moving slower. If City Safety senses an impending collision, the brakes are pre-charged to act faster on your response. And if you don’t brake, City Safety automatically applies the brakes and switches off the throttle to help mitigate the effects of a collision. And if the speed difference between your car and the vehicle in front is 15 km/h or less, City Safety can even help you avoid a collision. City Safety is activated when you start the car.

Want to test this Naughty Volvo? We are having a event just for that - August 20th, 2010 from 5 to 7 p.m. at Volvo of the Triad.
To reserve a drivers seat just register at http://www.volvocars.com/us/all-cars/volvo-s60/Pages/default.aspx?s60tourhub

Volvo S80 among those least likely Stolen.


In a recent article published by the Assosicated Press - the Volvo S80 was ranked among those least likely to be stolen. There is no wonder why this Volvo made the list. Just take a look at it's enchanced security features.


Personal Car Communicator (PCC) standard in the V8 AWD S80
The Personal Car Communicator (PCC) is an advanced remote control providing two-way communication with your Volvo. Keep the PCC with you and the car unlocks automatically on your arrival. Start the engine with a press of a button, lock the car by pressing a button in the door handle. Later in the day, if you're wondering whether you've locked the car, your PCC can remind you; no matter where you are. And when you return to your Volvo – within a radius of approx. 200 to 328 feet – pressing the PCC information button will give you a current report on its status. And if the alarm has been activated, the onboard heartbeat sensor will give you advanced warning if there's somebody in your car and an opportunity to evaluate the situation safely. PCC can also be used to operate the other remote controlled functions – such as the central locking, alarm, security lighting and panic alarm.

Remote-controlled Central Locking System
A touch of a button locks or unlocks the doors, trunk lid or tailgate (wagons). Use the personal settings menu to decide if the remote unlocks the driver's door first or all doors together. You can also unlock the trunk/tailgate separately. Once inside, all doors can be locked swiftly using the button beside the interior door handle.

Private Locking
Private Locking is the function that allows you to keep the luggage and glove compartment locked even when you lend out your key or Personal Car Communicator (PCC). (PCC is optional on some Volvo models). To activate Private Locking, a miniature key incorporated within the remote control is used to lock the glove compartment. This stops both compartments from being unlocked with the central locking remote control, but allows the central locking system and ignition to be used as normal.

Immobilizer and Theft-protected Locks
Not only will the door locks withstand most break-in attempts, the electronic immobilizer makes it impossible to start the car without the right key. And even if a would-be thief manages to get into the car, via the window, for example, the deadlock system makes it impossible to open the door from the inside.
