CTVs W5 aired a story about two wounded Canadian Forces soldiers, Master Corporal Jody Mitic and Corporal Andrew Kinsley who competed in Targa Newfoundland — a huge road rally — against experienced race drivers.

Between these two guys they have three arms and a leg, a result of injuries they sustained while in Afghanistan. Despite their injuries and the fact that this was the duos first rally they finished 7th in the Modern division (in an Acura TL sponsored by the Acura Dealers of Canada).

Their goal was to raise $150,000 for the Soldier On Fund. Soldier On was created to help ill and injured Canadian Forces veterans improve their quality of life through sports, fitness and peer interaction. To date, almost $80,000 has been raised for the program.

If you missed CTVs W5 catch the story here!

Way To Go, Guys!!

In its 2010 Initial Quality Study (IQS), released June 17, J.D. Power and Associates names Volvo C70 the top compact premium sporty car and ranks the Volvo nameplate as number 10 among automakers.
The leading research company’s 2010 Initial Quality Study also names three Volvo models – S80, XC70, XC60 – among top three in respective classes.

Volvo Car’s continued dedication to quality contributed to its 10th place ranking, up from 20th in 2009 on the US market. Every domestic and international automaker that sells vehicles in the United States is ranked by the number of problems per 100 vehicles (PP100), and Volvo this year earned its ranking by matching the industry average of 109 PP100.

“The IQS is the Olympics or World Championship of the car manufacturers’ world, so it feels really good to improve our placing by a massive ten positions,” says Bengt Banck, Senior Vice President, Quality and Customer Satisfaction at Volvo Cars.

2010 also marks the first year Volvo models have been individually recognized for outstanding value and performance.

Recently named the 2010 Best Overall Value of the Year in its luxury convertible class by IntelliChoice, the Volvo C70 now adds to its accolades recognition as the highest-ranking compact premium sporty car by J.D. Power and Associates.

In addition to the C70, Volvo has other models that rank within the top three in their segments: the S80 for midsize premium car brands, the XC70 for midsize premium crossover/SUV brands, and the XC60 for entry premium crossover/SUV brands.

According to J.D. Power and Associates, the IQS serves as the industry benchmark for new-vehicle quality measured at 90 days of ownership. In addition to manufacturer use for design and build improvements, consumers use the study to help in vehicle purchase decisions.

For 40 years now the Volvo Car Corporation’s Accident Research Team has documented and analysed traffic accidents involving Volvo cars. Many of the safety systems presented over the years build on know-how gained from the Accident Research Team’s impressive database.

Frontal collision involving two Volvo cars at high speed. The accident took place on a highway without a central divider, in Göteborg in autumn 2009. The speed limit on this stretch of road was 70 km/h. Both cars were travelling at about 60 km/h at the moment of impact.

It was thanks to a revolutionary new invention that the Accident Research Team started its operations. The year was 1966, just a few years after Volvo engineer Nils Bohlin had invented the three-point safety belt and Volvo had introduced this feature as standard in the front seats of all its models.

In order to measure the effects of the safety belt in traffic accidents, all accidents involving Volvos were analysed for a period of year. The car safety belt showed a massive 50 percent injury-reduction effect.

Volvo’s engineers realised the importance of understanding exactly what happens to the car’s occupants and the car itself in the course of an accident in order to be able to develop better and safer products in the future. The first seed was sown and in 1970 Volvo Cars’ own Accident Research Team was inaugurated.

Interpreting the Sequence of Events …

The method that is used today has been refined over the years, but all the information is still obtained from actual road accidents.

“We have to assume that our customers don’t always do what we expect them to do. They respond differently to various situations. That is why we need to understand the driver’s behaviour and how it influences the sequence of events in a real-life accident,” explains research unit member

One car was a Volvo V70, model year 2009. The second car was a Volvo V70, model year 1997. All occupants suffered minor or more serious injuries but everyone survived and both cars’ crash-protection systems functioned correctly. Volvo Cars Accident Research Team arrived on site to investigate the accident. The accident has later been reconstructed in Volvo Cars Crash Test Laboratory.

 John Fredrik Grönvall.

Work in the Accident Research Team follows two main tracks. Firstly, in-depth studies of individual accidents that provide insight into how a car’s protective systems behave and how the people involved are injured.

And secondly broad-based statistics that make it possible to chart the likelihood of a certain type of accident occurring. This knowledge leads to valuable prioritisation in the development of new car models.

The information that is collected is analysed by staff at the Volvo Cars Safety Centre, by specialists at the engineering departments and by medical experts.

All told, information from about 40,000 accidents involving Volvos has been gathered since the unit started operating, and 2100 in-depth analyses including comprehensive documentation have been conducted. This forms a valuable database that provides input for the development of new products.

Ten years with the crash-test laboratory …

The Accident Research Team shares an anniversary with the Volvo Cars Safety Centre, which is celebrating ten years since of operation. On March 29, 2000, Sweden’s King Carl XVI Gustaf inaugurated the centre, which is still one of the most advanced facilities of its kind in the world.

Since its establishment, every new Volvo model has undergone between 100 and 150 different crash tests in the laboratory to test a variety of accident scenarios, and even before the car exists as a physical object it will already have been tested thousands of times as a prototype using virtual simulators.

A total of about 3000 physical crash tests have been carried out in the laboratory since its inauguration in 2000. All this work aims at ensuring that the vehicle’s various safety systems interact as intended and provide effective protection for all the car’s occupants, irrespective of their size, at various speeds and in various accident scenarios. The tests supplement the accident research carried out in the field by the Accident Research Team.

Irv Gordon aims for 3 million miles in his Volvo P1800

1966 Volvo P1800

American Irv Gordon – driver of the highest mileage vehicle on the road, a 1966 Volvo P1800 – has just turned 70. No he aims to reach an unmatchable record sometime in the next three years.
 
The two-seater sports coupe P1800 was presented at the auto show in Brussels 1960. Production started one year later, so 2011 the P1800 celebrates its 50 year anniversary. Almost 46,000 units of the famous Swedish sailor Pelle Petterson designed model were produced in various versions until production finished in 1973.
 
One of the P1800 icons is the British actor Roger Moore, who drove the car in the TV series “The Saint”. Another famous P1800 driver is the American Irv Gordon. With more than 2.8 million miles on his sporty red Volvo sports car, Gordon was celebrating his birthday on 15 July by affirming his goal of reaching three million miles before his 73rd birthday – forever enshrining him as an iron man in automotive endurance.
 
Gordon, a retired science teacher from East Patchogue, N.Y., purchased his Volvo in June 1966, and immediately fell in love, driving 1,500 miles in the first 48 hours. With a 125-mile round-trip daily commute, a fanatical dedication to vehicle maintenance and a passion for driving, Gordon logged 500,000 miles in 10 years.
 
In the Guinness Book of World Records

In 1998 with 1.69 million miles, he made the Guinness Book of World Records for most miles driven by a single owner in a non-commercial vehicle. In 2002, he drove the car’s two-millionth mile down Times Square to national and international media attention.
 
Today, Gordon breaks his own record every time he drives, whether it’s to Cincinnati for coffee, Rolla, Mo., for lunch or Green River, Wyo., for dinner. Gordon – like any mighty record-holder at the top of his game – is mindful of his legacy, as well as setting a record no one can beat.
 
“Three million miles by my 73nd birthday sounds right,” Gordon said. “But, whether I reach that mark is more up to me than it is the car. The car’s parts have long proven they can take it, but I’m not so sure about my own. Either way, it will be a fantastic testament to the engineering genius of Volvo as well as to the resiliency of folks my age. 
 
Like baseball legend diMaggio
“Three million miles is an iron clad number that I’d like to think sits right up there with DiMaggio’s consecutive game hitting streak. Who’s going to beat that? No one.”
 
Gordon is unsure what to do with his Volvo after three million miles, though he has considered selling it for no less than one dollar per each mile he’s driven.
 
“I used to think I’d park it in a museum where people will get to enjoy seeing the car that beat the odds – all with the same engine, same radio, same axles, same transmission and of course the same driver,” Gordon said. “Now I think, ‘no way.’ I’ll either keep driving it or sell it for $3 million.”
 
And what would he do if he made $3 million off the car?
 
“I’d spend it on traveling,” he said. “Road trips, of course.”

True Story … Had a lady come into our dealership who was looking for a XC90. She wasn’t sure if she wanted a new or used one, but had always liked the look and knew that was what she wanted.

We scheduled a time for her to come in and she took both a new and the used one I had out for a test drive. She liked both but what it really boiled down to was getting into a monthly payment that would work for her without having to worry. We spent a couple of hours together and by the time she left had all the information she needed on both vehicles.

She didn’t end up buying from me and the only reason was due to the monthly payment she wanted to be at. She decided to go to a used car lot instead because she found a XC90 there that was cheaper than the one I had for sale. It happens, but … if you are going to look at a vehicle on a used car lot, OTHER THAN a dealership … keep these things in mind:

We (meaning dealerships and used car lots) all buy vehicles for our used car lots at the same place, the auction. Right now there is a huge demand for used Volvos and a very limited supply, so it stands to reason that we would give a long hard look at ALL Volvos that go through.

You really need to keep that in mind, when you see a vehicle, like a Volvo on a used car lot and ask yourself why? Why, if there is such a huge demand and a short supply of good Volvos would a car like that be on a used car lot rather than at a dealership?

There could very well be a reason, like:

1. It was in an accident. I am talking considerable damage, or

2. It was a vehicle brought in from the US. Some might not mind the fact that it is a US car, because it is a great deal, but is it really? Think in terms of the type of weather conditions the US has had with flooding, etc. ALL those vehicles didn’t just get gathered up crushed never to be seen again. They were cleaned up, fixed and sent somewhere. Also think in terms of warranties. If having some sort of vehicle service plan is important to you, you might want to check first to see if there is something available for you.

I am not saying that buying a used car from a lot other than a dealership is bad. Just make sure you do your homework. The car looks fantastic and it is at an awesome price to boot … WHY??

The XC90 my customer purchased was a US vehicle. She said she had it checked (which is a good thing). She came into the Parts Department because the Rear DVD didn’t have the Remote or the Wireless Headsets that were suppose to be with it … hmmmm

The Volvo XC60 took first prize in the “Family Car of the Year” category in the first-ever Women’s World Car of the Year competition. All told, 21 cars competed in four categories when eight female motoring journalists from seven countries voted for their favourite cars.
 
“It is naturally immensely gratifying that women appreciate the Volvo XC60 and that our product meets their requirements. With the Volvo XC60 we feel we have truly succeeded in creating a car that appeals to many different customer groups,” says Johan Rasmusson, Car Line Manager for the Volvo XC60 and XC90 at Volvo Cars.

 
Over the past year, eight female motoring journalists from Britain, the USA, Canada, South Africa, India, Australia and New Zealand put 21 selected cars to the test. The group and the award were created to educate the world’s car makers about female customers’ requirements.
 
“We searched a long time to put together a team of female motoring correspondents qualified to vote for the winners. This was no easy task since there aren’t that many female motoring journalists,” says Sandy Myhre, jury chairperson from New Zealand.
 
All the winners in the four categories were recently presented in London. The Volvo XC60 won the “Family Car of the Year” category. The overall winner of the competition was the Jaguar XF.
 
Child-friendliness important
The cars were assessed on a wide range of criteria described as a “women- specific shopping-list”. This includes parameters such as storage space, child-friendliness, aesthetic appeal – that is to say design – and driving pleasure.
 
Acceleration and torque were also assessed, but were not among the top priorities. Climate impact was another factor. One of the more unusual assessment parameters was “sex appeal”. However, this was not a factor that made any major impact on the final result.
 
The voting procedure and the competition itself were monitored by Paul McCormick from globally renowned auditing firm Grant Thornton.
 
Sexiness scored low
“I assumed that women would definitely attach greater importance to properties such as value for money and child-friendliness. As the votes started adding up it became clear that factors such as sexiness and climate impact were being assessed more critically, scoring relatively low marks compared with certain other categories,” says Paul Mc Cormick.
 
In order to qualify for this year’s competition, the cars had to be sold in at least ten countries throughout the world and must have been available on the market between September 2008 and September 2009.
“What is most exciting for us women in the jury from all these different countries around the world is that for the first time ever, we have had the opportunity to express in our own way which cars impress us,” says Sandy Myhre.

At the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Volvo Car Corporation will present a battery-electric Volvo C30 with a range of 150 km. The show car represents the first step toward building a test fleet of at least 50 electric Volvo C30s that will be on the road in 2011.

Volvo Cars first presented a basic, driveable electric car prototype in September, 2009. The C30 to be shown in Detroit takes the company one step further in the development process as this vehicle features a complete interior, full instrumentation and as well as enhanced battery packaging.

“The first prototype helped us identify the main technological challenges, such as battery packaging and safety issues,” says Lennart Stegland, Director of Volvo Cars Special Vehicles. “We have addressed these challenges without compromising the C30′s cool and fun-to-drive personality. I am very happy with the result. The electric C30 in Detroit is a much more complete product.”

The next step in 2010 is a factory-built series of test cars. Selected users will drive the test fleet during a two-year trial period during which time Volvo Cars will collect valuable, real-world technical data as well as feedback on the user’s driving behaviours with an electric car.

 The Swedish Energy Agency is supporting the project by contributing SEK 150 million towards its funding.

 Valuable field data
A pure electric car has different characteristics compared to a car with an internal combustion engine. With the test fleet, Volvo Cars engineers will have the opportunity to study how users handle these differences.

 ”Our test fleet data will be valuable in Volvo Cars’ development of electric cars,” says Stegland.  “It will also provide crucial input for the infrastructure planners and help define which services are needed to make rechargeable cars the most attractive choice in the future.”

 New instruments and graphics
The electric C30 looks like a regular Volvo C30 and it offers the same safety, comfort and roominess as the standard car. The most obvious difference is inside the car with unique instruments, which is largely limited to communicating road speed and energy consumption. However, it also integrates a number of new symbols such as a gauge for battery charge status.

The driving experience is also different to that in a conventional car. The electric C30 has no transmission gears and the motor’s power is delivered seamlessly, with maximum torque available immediately.

“Sailing along virtually without a sound is a very special experience,” says Stegland. “The power is there instantaneously. We need to spend a lot of time verifying a transmission system that is both comfortable and safe for the driver to handle and at the same time utilizes the battery’s capacity optimally at different speeds.”

 Like a regular C30 – all the fun but with no emissions
An electric motor uses approximately one-fourth as much energy as an engine running on fossil fuels. This superior energy efficiency suggests that interest in electric cars will increase as fuel prices rise and demands for low CO2 emissions become increasingly stringent.

The Volvo C30 shown in Detroit is powered by Lithium-Ion batteries that can be recharged via either a regular household power socket or special roadside charging stations. Charging the battery fully takes about eight hours.  If the car is recharged with renewable electricity, CO2 emissions could be almost zero from a well-to-wheel perspective.

Top speed with a fully charged battery pack is about 130 km/h. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h takes less than 11 seconds and maximum range is up to 150 km. These performance figures cover the daily transport needs of more than 90 percent of all motorists in Europe.

 As safe as all other Volvo vehicles
The electric motor is fitted under the hood while the two batteries (24 kWh) are installed in the propshaft tunnel and in the space normally occupied by the fuel tank; meaning outside the passenger compartment and away from the deformation zones.

“What is more, they are well encapsulated and the structure around them has been reinforced,” says Thomas Broberg, Senior Safety Advisor at Volvo Cars.  ”Electric cars represent yet another interesting challenge in our dedication to building the world’s safest cars. An electrically powered Volvo must be as safe as all other new Volvos. And the very same standards also apply to ownership, driving and protection in the event of an accident.”

 Market prospects for electric power
When it comes to electric-only cars, there are several factors that determine their appeal in the future.

 ”The consumers must feel that this type of car is attractive both to drive and own,” says Paul Gustavsson, Director of Electrification Strategy at Volvo Cars.  “That is why electric cars have to be as comfortable and safe and offer the same sort of performance as cars with other power sources. We believe in this technology and our field test aims to demonstrate that electric cars have considerable market potential. However, offering an attractive car is not enough. What is also needed initially is a system of subsidies to make the electric car’s expensive battery technology financially viable for the car buyers. We hope that the authorities and the rest of the society will follow Volvo Cars in our ‘Drive Towards Zero’ – Volvo Cars’ journey towards zero emissions.”

The Volvo XC60 was named 2010 International Truck of the Year by the International Car of the Year (ICOTY) jury on December 2. The award was given to Doug Speck, President and CEO of Volvo Cars of North America, LLC at the Volvo display at the 2009 Los Angeles Auto Show. The XC60 was chosen over 10 new crossovers, SUVs and trucks by a distinguished panel of top automotive journalists.
 
“This ties a very pretty bow around what’s been a truly amazing year for Volvo,” commented Speck. “The XC60 has not only been recognized by the media but it’s been extremely well received by our customers.”

The 2010 XC60 has helped VCNA earn six consecutive months of year-over-year sales increases since June.
 
The XC60 was chosen the winner from a panel of 19 automotive media from around the U.S. and Canada representing top newspapers, magazines and websites. The jurors must consider the ICOTY mission of “honoring vehicles that reflect an emotional connection between car and consumer lifestyles” when making their nominations. 
 
“The ICOTY awards are not centered on power and performance,” said Courtney Caldwell, ICOTY’s creator and executive producer. “It’s about how cars reflect our personalities, lifestyles and self image, an attitude most consumers identify with.”
 
“This is one of the most prestigious car awards in the world and we feel very proud to receive it for our best-selling XC60″, said Stephen Odell, President and CEO Volvo Car Corporation.
 
Once approved by the ICOTY nominating committee, the awards jury then bases their decision on a number of important criteria: The vehicle must be new or substantially revised, it must be offered for sale to the general public by the judging deadline of November 16, 2009, and may not have been previously considered for the ICOTY Awards.
 
The International Truck of the Year award marks the 20th accolade the Volvo XC60 has received since sales began in Europe in late 2008. The XC60 is the first vehicle to offer City Safety as standard equipment. This unique Volvo technology can help the driver avoid frontal collisions at low speed. If the driver is about to drive into the rear of a vehicle and does not react in time, the XC60 will apply the brakes by itself.
 
 
About ICOTY: The ICOTY Awards were founded and launched in 1997 by Courtney Caldwell, editor-in-chief of Road  Travel Magazine.The mission of the ICOTY Awards is to shed light on the emotional connection between cars and consumers. Awards are presented to automakers that most successfully achieve that goal through the design and marketing of their vehicles, and how well those vehicles reflect consumer lifestyles.

Now if you have the money to layout then it is certainly to your advantage because now you don’t have to make 36 monthly payments, you’ve paid already and can forget about it. The other advantage to this form of car lease payment is that typically (but not in all cases so check with the dealership) your lease interest rate can be lower.

This is still a traditional lease in that you have the option of buying the vehicle out afterwards or giving back the keys. You also are on the hook for any damages to the vehicle when you return it, or you can purchase the worry free insurance that is offered (I strongly recommend it!).

KEEP IN MIND, that typically the lease payment they are providing you will be based on a low km lease – typically 20,000 kms/year. If you do more than that you can purchase excess kms from the get go. Also understand fully if there is anything over and above taxes due at signing. Bottomline READ THE FINE PRINT in the advertisements, they tell all!!

Is a one time lease payment worth it – for sure if you want to pay a lower interest rate, if you have the cash for a one time payment then of course you drive for the set term without having to worry about making a lease payment.

I can certainly understand why the idea of buying a car in the United States instead of Canada has come to light and of course there are always a host of others that follow. As a consumer myself, I too want to know why are cars more expensive in Canada and if there is an advantage to buying in the United States as opposed to Canada. On a great many consumer products there is a great advantage, however, when it comes to buying a car in the United States instead of Canada, that becomes a different situation.

Here is a car buying tip that will certainly help and give you some things you need to be aware of if you are contemplating buying a car in the United States instead of Canada:

1. The first thing that makes buying a car in the United States instead of Canada a challenge is the fact that Dealerships have a franchise agreement which prohibits them from selling cars to anyone outside of the country. Our dollar has been lower than the US for a great long time and US consumers weren’t able to hop the border to buy cars here when they were cheaper because of that agreement. I have seen people coming in wanting to purchase a car and export it to Europe and again because of the franchise agreement the dealership wasn’t able to sell them a vehicle.

2. If you are like most Canadians you can’t just lay down the cash to purchase your car outright and have to finance. If you are buying a car in the United States instead of Canada you won’t be able to qualify for financing in the US, nor will you be able to take advantage of any of their incentives so you’ll have to use a line of credit or a bank loan. If you are thinking about using your line of credit or a bank loan keep in mind that the interest rate is much higher than what you would normally get for financing your car through the dealership in Canada.

3. If you are thinking about using your current car as a trade to lower your monthly payments, think again. The US Dealer will more likely not consider your vehicle as a trade, mainly because the market for used vehicles in the US is very healthy.

4. Travelling costs is certainly another thing to consider. If you live closer to a border crossing then of course that might not be as much as a hassle for you, you just zip over and zip back when you need to. But if you are buying a car in the United States instead of Canada and you live farther away then a day trip now becomes a weekend trip and plan on a couple of weekend trips, at least two. One to do the deal and one to go and pick up the car. The internet will certainly help you narrow down the vehicle options and where it is located but you still need more than one trip.

5. Also if you are planning on buying a car in the United States instead of Canada there are other requirements you need to meet from Transport Canada. Check first with Transport Canada to see if the car you are planning to buy is allowed into the country in the first place and if it can be modified to meet Canadian specs (ie – daytime running lights, metric speedometer and ordometer, child tether anchors and 8 km/hr bumpers). Not only are there costs associated with bringing the car up to Canadian standards there is also a fee for registering your imported car.

6. Transport Canada isn’t the only agency you will come into contact with and have a few hoops to jump. If you are buying a car in the United States instead of Canada then Customs Canada is also an agency you will be meeting up with when you cross the border. They have specific paperwork that you must have and have a time requirement as well, you can’t just buy the car and expect to bring it back right away, they have paperwork which must be submitted to them 72 hours prior to you wanting to cross back and come home.

7. Buying a used car and bringing it back isn’t as difficult and there is a huge selection with in some cases lower prices. Where you will find you’ll have to do a bit more research is in the accident history of the car and what the requirements are for importing the used car into Canada.

Buying a car in the United States instead of Canada may seem like a good plan, but, there are other things that you have to keep in mind. Do your research online first, find the vehicle that matches your car option for option. Look at the finance charges you are going to insur, take into account your travel time and time restraints for Customs. Total ALL your expenses and add it to the bottomline before you go and look at see if you are saving. Keep in mind that any sort of Government Rebates that Canada provides for vehicles (ecoAuto Rebate etc) you are NOT entitled to because your vehicle is now an import. In that regard you are leaving money on the table.

Use the internet and do your research, below you will find the contact information for the Goverment Agencies you need to talk to BEFORE YOU MAKE YOUR NEW CAR BUYING decision, it is going to take work but in the end you will certainly know if buying a car in the United States instead of Canada is a good idea and what your risks are.

Good luck on your quest!
