Banksy Turbo Zone Truck Could Command $2MM
Maybe you’ll soon see a millionaire driving around in a Volvo box truck not because he/she appreciates its tepid performance and Fridigdaire-like handling qualities but because graffiti artist Banksy got a hold of it. What’s officially titled the “Turbo Zone Truck (Laugh Now but One Day We'll Be in Charge)”…
Volvo V60 Polestar Engineered Wagon

1979 Volvo C202 Laplander 4×4

Volvo Ditched the Auto Show and Unveiled Its New Station Wagon at a Villa in Stockholm
Auto shows have served as the place for brands to come show off their new products for quite some time. From crazy concept cars, to new technology, or even just the upcoming year’s latest production models, if it didn’t debut at one of the big shows, it hardly mattered at…
Volvo is Bringing Back the Station Wagon with the New V60
When we think suburbia, we think sleek modern homes lined like ducks in a row, neatly trimmed hedges, trash receptacles dutifully lining curbs, smiling neighbors, and short stubby driveways.

Everyone knows that Google is working on self-driving cars, but there's going to be another group competing with them because Volvo and Uber are now building autonomous cars.
