Available crash avoidance technology includes a Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) and audible/visual Collision Warning with Brake Support (CWBS). Functions such as these are wise investments for those intending to press their Volvo into family duties, such as hauling little tykes to and fro.

Despite a significant makeover in 2007 its fundamental shape including its broad shoulders remain intact.

S80 wrapped-up
I'm a fan of the Volvo S80. I like the fact that it projects a softer image than its German competition. I also find it a little more user-friendly than some of the premium rides it competes with. And how can one criticize Volvo for all it has done in the area safety?

The 2008 S80 is a very pleasing selection for those, not bent on edgy performance, seeking an upscale well-mannered luxury sedan with plenty of room, comfort and distinctiveness.
