	Volvo - Wikicars
		Volvo Cars, or Volvo Personvagnar, is an automobile maker that was founded in 1927 in the city of Gothenburg in Sweden.
		The Volvo design team invented both the 'safety cage' and 'crumple zone' concept, where passengers are protected in a strong, encircling frame and the energy of a crash is absorbed by destruction of the hood or trunk of the car.
		In the early 1970s, Volvo acquired the passenger car division of the Dutch company DAF, and marketed their small cars as Volvos before releasing the Dutch-built Volvo 340, which went on to be one of the biggest-selling cars in the UK market in the 1980s.

	Volvo S80
		Volvo remade its flagship luxury sedan in model year 1999 in the form of the front-wheel drive S80, as it retired the rear-drive S90.
		There is no S80 wagon, but the Volvo V70 can be considered very close to what an "V80" wagon would be.
		Safety equipment included front passenger airbags, crumple zones, Volvo's inflatable curtain airbags, and Volvo's WHIPS system (designed to move the front seatbacks and headrests rearward to minimize whiplash during a rear-end collision).

		Volvo's compacts consist of the S40 sedan and V40 wagon, each exhibiting styling points that look similar to the flagship sedan only in a smaller scale.

		The XC90, Volvo's first foray into the bountiful SUV market proves to be a true exercise in engineering, particularly in the areas of safety and yes, versatility.

		The new car, based on Volvo's P2 platform shared with the S80 and V70, is 5.7-inches shorter than the S70, though the wheelbase is only 2-inches shorter and the front and rear tracks are actually wider.
		Volvo began use of the engine with the introduction of the 850 back in 1993.
		This setup has been particularly attractive to Volvo as it allows them to mount the engine transversely in some fairly confined space, possibly even in the upcoming 30, 40 and 50-series models planned to share the next generation Ford Focus platform.
