The “Naughty Volvo Tour” is soon to be in a city near you with the all new Volvo S60
Consumers shopping for a new Volvo S60 in Ft. Myers will not have to wait much longer. Volvo Cars of North America, LLC (VCNA), announced that they will launch a Naughty Volvo Tour to introduce the new 2011 Volvo S60. The tour will visit Volvo dealerships across the United States and Canada, starting in July and finishing in the fall. Owners of a Volvo S80 in Ft. Myers may want to consider trading in their vehicle once they set their eyes on this new beauty.
The manufacturers at Volvo have equipped the new S60 with a 300-horsepower six-cylinder T6 engine with all-wheel-drive, achieving a fuel economy of 18 city/26 highway mpg. But what will have Volvo lovers drooling is the new sleek and smooth design – curvy edges and flowing lines replace the simplicity of older models. Consumers can choose from many attractive colors and body styling packages that are offered with the new S60, something that Ft. Myers Volvo S80 owners may want to learn more about, not to mention a variety of leather upholstery styles.
While all these features sound appealing, Volvo is heavily promoting the first ever Pedestrian Detection with Full Auto Brake technology. What does this mean for Ft. Myers Volvo S60 drivers? How about never having to worry about being sued by a pedestrian who was injured by their vehicle? Volvo’s radar and camera-based system will detect pedestrians in front of the car and warn the driver if someone walks in his or her path. Furthermore, the system will automatically activate the vehicle’s full braking power if the driver fails to step on the brakes in a timely manner. Fortunately, I’ve never hit a pedestrian, but you never know who will pop into your blind spot, or if your feet aren’t as quick as you thought they were.
I would say that Volvo will not have to do much work to promote the new S60, especially with this newly added technology. Nevertheless, the Naughty Volvo Tour will allow spectators to observe the new Volvo S60 and view demonstrations of the Pedestrian Detection system before the model hits dealership lots nationwide. The rest of us will have to wait in agony to see the new model when it arrives in dealership lots.
