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.

Where's Your Naughty Meter?

Safety, Scandinavian design and environmental consideration are all part and parcel of the Volvo brand. With the all-new Volvo S60, a new dimension is now being revealed – The Naughty Volvo. The aim is for driving pleasure, world-class design and innovative safety to attract more customers to the Volvo brand.

Volvo Cars is putting most of its campaign online and reveals its more playful dimension, where properties such as extreme driving pleasure and daring design are in the spotlight.

“The all-new Volvo S60 is a particularly dynamic car with an exciting design and innovative safety features. We are showing what it can actually do and just how much fun it is to drive,” says Michael Persson, director of Global Marketing Communications.

A total of twelve short films have been produced at the Volvo test-track. The visitor gets to choose from four headlines what test they want to try out and by using the naughtymeter they decide just how naughty the S60 is to be.

The first film shows a slalom test and at level two a red S60 slips and slides its way along a slalom course marked out with traffic cones and the question “Want it naughty?” appears on the screen. With each level, both the speed and the thrills rise to new heights. And the same principle is applied to the other three films: Elk test, Pedestrian Detection and Driving Pleasure.

 No cheating

“The films haven’t been faked or enhanced in any way. The S60 not only represents the fun side of Volvo, it lives up to its sporty design,” says Sven de Smet, Campaign Development Manager.
A world famous stunt driver has together with the Volvo team planned all the various courses and events. After test-driving the Volvo S60 on the track, he decided to add even more spice to his stunts.

“Of course we don’t encourage anyone else to drive in this way. Instead, what we wanted was to show that the car can handle all this and more thanks to its superb dynamic properties and innovative technical solutions,” explains Sven de Smet.

 There is a fourth level marked on the naughtymeter. It is linked to the question “Not naughty enough? You tell us.” Visitors to the website are asked to send in suggestions for what challenges that last level should contain.

“We certainly aren’t going to blow up cars or allow any risk of personal injury, but in all other respects there are no holds barred,” says Michael Persson.

Five finalists will be presented on the naughty hub. The public get to vote in the winner, who will be named at the end of April. The winning idea will then be filmed in Los Angeles early May.

Aside from Volvo Cars in Sweden who will run a separate campaign more in line with their long-term market communication, the Naughty campaign is global and gets under way with the launch of the all-new Volvo S60 at the Geneva Motor show early March. That is when it will be possible to see how well the campaign succeeds to grab the attention of premium car buyers and for them to experience the fun side of Volvo; the naughty one.

Cars Canada For Sale

The all-new Volvo S60 made its world premiere today at the Geneva Motor Show. The car will enter one of the automotive world’s toughest segments backed by an extrovert attitude never before seen in Volvo showrooms. The all-new S60 has been sculpted to move you – both physically and emotionally.
 
“The sporty design delivers a visual promise of enthusiastic driving characteristics and I can assure you that the all-new S60 truly lives up to that promise. Its driving properties are better than those of any previous Volvo. What is more, the car’s innovative new technologies help you become both a better and a safer driver,” says Volvo Car Corporation President and CEO Stephen Odell.
 
With its all-new Volvo S60, Volvo Cars is advancing its position in one of the car world’s most competitive segments: CD Premium.
 
“The competition is razor-sharp and the customers know exactly what they want. The emphasis is on emotional stance, sporty design and dynamic driving properties. Success in this segment means a lot for the brand’s image and we are convinced that the all-new S60 will be one of the strongest contenders,” says Odell.
 
The first-generation Volvo S60 was launched in 2000. It soon became Volvo Cars’ most popular model, enjoying worldwide acclaim and peak sales of 110,000 cars in 2002. All told, there are approximately 600,000 S60s on roads around the world today.
 
Uniform Global Spread

The initial annual target for the all-new Volvo S60 is 90,000 cars and the car’s customer base is spread uniformly throughout the world. Europe (including Russia), North America, and the rest of the world will each account for approximately one-third of total sales.
 
The five largest single markets will be the USA, China, Russia, Sweden and Great Britain.
 
The all-new S60 is built at the Volvo Cars factory in Ghent, Belgium. The

We'll Keep You Posted On Updates

first cars will be delivered to European customers in early summer 2010. The vehicle will arrive in Canada in the second half of 2010.
 
“Irrespective of whether the customers are in the USA, Europe or elsewhere in the world, they all prioritise the same characteristics. Now we are giving them an entirely new S60 that has a unique appeal to even the most discerning of buyers,” says Odell.
 
Embracing Contrasts

The all-new S60 is a Volvo vehicle that embraces contrasts. Its clear focus on the driver makes it the ideal companion for the keen driving enthusiast. At the same time, it integrates high-tech innovation that helps it protect one of the most vulnerable road-users in modern traffic: the pedestrian.
 
Pedestrian Detection with full auto brake is a groundbreaking technology. It can detect pedestrians that walk onto the road in front of the car, warn the driver, and automatically apply full braking power if the driver does not respond in time.
 
“Pedestrian Detection with full auto brake takes Volvo Cars’ traditional care for the human being to a whole new dimension. In recent years, we have introduced a number of solutions that help the driver avoid accidents with other vehicles. Now we are taking a giant step forward with technology that helps to increase safety for unprotected road users as well,” says Tomas Ahlborg, Project Director for the all-new Volvo S60. “As far as we know, we are the first car maker in the world to offer a complete system that can detect, alert and automatically brake to avoid pedestrians.”
 
For Ahlborg, who also served as one of the driving forces behind the first-generation S60, responsibility for the development of the all-new Volvo S60 has been the most exciting challenge of his career.
 
“The brief from the company’s executive management was short and to the point: create Volvo’s sportiest car ever. Personally, I’m one hundred percent delighted with the result. The all-new S60 is an uncompromisingly sporty sedan. Every single detail is in total harmony with the car’s dynamic credentials,” he explains.
 
Eldorado For Car Enthusiasts

In simple terms, car buyers can be divided into two main categories: enthusiasts and pragmatists. For the enthusiast, the car is a high-priority conversation topic that can never be exhausted. The pragmatist only shows interest in cars when it is time to replace his or her current vehicle with a new one every three or four years or so.
 
In a historical perspective, Volvo Cars’ brand has attracted more pragmatists than enthusiasts. However, as each successive generation of Volvo models became increasingly emotional, that picture has changed – and the all-new S60 is packed with all the ingredients from the enthusiast’s favourite menu.
 
“The number ‘60′ in our model range nowadays indicates our sportiest models. The XC60 was the first step. Now, with the all-new S60, we are placing ourselves right on the car enthusiasts’ radar screen. Later in 2010, we will expand the range by introducing the new Volvo V60 sportswagon,” says Ahlborg.

When people come into our dealership looking to buy a new car, a great many overlook the possibility of getting into a demo.

A demo model is one that has been driven by a sales person or management and has kms on it. How many typically depends on the dealership, you will find kms on a demo anywhere from 7,000 kms or over.

A demo that is within the same model year is still eligible for all the manufacturer programs and incentives. On top of that you can save on some of the fees like; fuel tax, air tax, PDI and freight. In some cases that could save you $1500 or more, again depending the dealer group and their policies.

It is a very viable option for you, especially if you want to benefit from the savings and don’t mind the fact that it has kms on it.

Keep that in mind when you are looking to buy a new car and don’t forget to ask the dealer if they have any demo models!

One of the main reasons I hear for opting not to get extended automobile warranties is “I thought this vehicle was suppose to be a quality vehicle?” You are quite right, the vehicles on in the market today are good quality, however, consider this for a second …

Your new car has over 17,000 moving parts. If it were built 99% “perfect”, that means still 170 parts would fail during the life span of your new car. Going further if it were built 99.9% “perfect” that means 17 parts would fail during the life span of your car, and going one more step if it were built 99.99% “perfect” then 1.7 parts would fail during the lies.

That one or two parts could be something as inexpensive as a seal for $15 or an engine for $4000+. The question you need to ask yourself is … If it was a major part that went would you be able to just pop out the cash to pay for it? The more important question is doesn’t it make sense to spend money on new car extended warranties now so you can keep that $4000 where it belongs … in your pocket?

Think of extended automobile warranties as mechanical insurance for your car. It lets you expand the current manufacturer’s warranty and it covers the cost of new “manufacturer” replacement parts, plus a techs labour.

There are different types of new car extended warranties which give you a wide range of mechanical coverage based on various terms and kilometre allowances. The key is having an idea as to what you plan on doing with your new car. Are you leasing? In which case all you may need is a top up of the comprehensive warranty (bumper to bumper). If you buy your car and hang onto it for a while then you may want coverage for a longer period of time both on the comprehensive and on the powertrain. Incidentally, if you are keeping you car for a long time, there are a couple of advantages to having extended automobile warranties.

1. New car extended warranties are fully transferable to a second owner. That provides peace of mind for the new buyer AND typically those vehicles with extended automobile warranties show pride of ownership, and

2. They increase your re-sale value

The cost of repairs have increase a lot over the years. For example, in 1991 a transmission replacement would bring you an $850 repair bill, in 2003 the average repair bill was $4056 and I am very confident in saying that those rates have increased even more since then. Adding new car extended warranties to your monthly payment protects you from the rising costs.

Oh and one last point … Do you know the NUMBER 1 REASON people’s vacations are cut short?

If you are not aware of them there is a website site www.CarCostCanada.com
where you pay a membership fee of $39.95 and you can get quotes from participating dealers on a new vehicle. You want to check this out first, but I believe you are able to get five quotes from five different brands, so if you have a wish list this will certainly help you get started.

Through your membership you receive the lowest price based on the actual dealer invoice price on new cars. It saves you time in haggling over a price, aggravation if you don’t like to haggle in the first place, and of course money.

Does it work? Ahhh the $64,000 question! From my end when I receive a www.CarCostCanada.com quote, you get ALL the manufacturer’s incentives and programs, you also receive pricing base on the invoice pricing for new cars PLUS if you actually purchase a car from me as a result, I give you back your $39.95 membership fee.

Participating dealers have to pay a fee to belong to Cars Cost Canada so it is obviously in their best interest to make the most of that fee and give you THE BEST PRICE!

It’s like anything else … buyer beware, but like I said above it certainly does give you little bit more insight for when you start going through the buying process.

It’s worth your time to at least check it out www.CarCostCanada.com and just see. Some customers feel that the membership fee is money well spent … you be the judge!
