In 2002, Volvo Cars celebrated its 75th anniversary in a variety of ways, including a big party in Times Square, New York, and the competition of the world’s toughest sailing race – the Volvo Ocean Race. The next generation Sports Utility Vehicle, the Volvo XC90, has received a number of coveted awards. The entire year’s production quota was soon filled. We have therefore increased the production target for 2003 from 50,000 to 60,000 Volvo XC90s. At the Paris Motor Show, the wraps were pulled off the Volvo S60 R and Volvo V70 R.

Call me fickle, but since the graceful P1800 ended production in the early 70’s I haven’t fallen head over heals for Volvo styling. That is until recently. If my newfound enthusiasm for their current model line-up is any indication of the demographic Volvo is trying to target, they’re on the right track. Volvo is finally producing cars that are as much about style and performance as they are about safety and reliability. The S60, introduced this spring as a 2002 model, builds on the radically styled S80 sedan and V70 wagon theme. Its lines are fluid and its stance athletic.

The ranks of Volvo’s S60 compact luxury cars were recently bolstered by the addition of a new all wheel drive variant called the S60 AWD. The release of an all wheel drive S60 is a significant step by Volvo to ensure its vehicles offer drivers premium levels of safety and vehicle performance. One of the most notable points of the new S60 AWD is that the all wheel drive system is the first electronically controlled system to be fitted to a Volvo car. Previous all wheel drive Volvos used a viscous coupling arrangement. When the front wheels slip, torque is transferred to the rear wheels by the viscous coupling, often causing a certain amount of jerkiness as it locks and unlocks.
