The From Sweden with Lov Tour was a great success here at Darrell Waltrip Volvo. Thanks to all who participated!
Darrell Waltrip himself appeared for the unveiling of Volvo’s newest model, the 2010 Volvo XC60. Darrell was joined by John Gallagher, General Manager of Darrell Waltrip Automotive, as well as Michelle and JoaKim, executive representatives from Volvo of America. The representatives began with a brief history of Volvo and the company’s impressive contributions to automotive safety. (You may be surprised to learn that among Volvo’s inventions is the seatbelt!)
The new crossover SUV was then revealed. The XC60 is equipped with many standard safety elements but features the all new City Safety system. City Safety uses a laser sensor to automatically apply the brakes when the vehicle is approaching an object or vehicle too quickly (up to 18 mph). Attendees test drove the XC60 and demonstrated that City Safety stopped the vehicle to avoid hitting a pylon, even when the driver failed to apply the brakes! City Safety is intended to help avoid a crash or reduce the impact of a collision in slow moving traffic.
The From Sweden with Lov Tour continues the introduction of the remarkable XC60 nationwide through March. Special thanks to Panera Bread for providing coffee and pastries, and to J&M Corporate Catering for the delicious homemade cookies!
