Lovering Volvo in Meredith

Sometimes, looks can be deceiving. The fastest-looking model might not actually perform well or the most practical-looking vehicle might actually be poorly built. Then again, sometimes a deceptive appearance can actually be a good thing. Take the Volvo S60 for example. With its sleek lines, color-coordinated moldings, stylish flair and sporty tailpipes, the Volvo is one striking sedan. It's so good-looking in fact, that'd you wouldn't think it's safe.

In the name of better fuel-economy, Volvo has announced a switch in Volvo parts. Up until now, the automaker has equipped its vehicles with predominantly six- and eight-cylinder engines. Starting in 2013, however, Volvo will replace these large powerhouses with smaller, more efficient ones.

As the need for greater environmental consciousness becomes more and more evident, automakers are doing their best to create more fuel-efficient, eco-friendly vehicles. As it turns out, Volvo is going above and beyond. With a CO² reduction rate higher than that of its top ten competitors, the Swedish automaker is leading the pack.
