	2000 Volvo S40 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		STEVENS PASS, Wash. -- Sweden's automaker Volvo has developed a lively new sedan and wagon -- the S40 and V40 -- which contain the kind of precision handling hardware and sophisticated safety systems found on the pricy larger sedans and wagons in Volvo's fleet.
		Yet these newest Volvos, sized to the dimensions of a compact car and equipped with a long list of luxury features as well as a gutsy turbo-charged engine, come ashore in North America with price points which position them well within the reach of those with less than luxury-car budgets.
		Volvo's Home Safe Lighting is also standard, whereby the car's headlamps hold on low beams for 30 seconds after you leave the vehicle.

	Volvo S40 T5 \| Roadtests \| The Australian
		It's not the first Volvo to platform share – the outgoing S40 shared its underpinnings with a European-made Mitsubishi, the Carisma, which from all reports was severely misnamed.
		Volvo interiors have been a high point for several years and the S40 builds on the tradition.
		Safety is a given in any Volvo and in the S40 amounts to front, side and head protection airbags, with variable speed deployment and occupant-sensing seats.

		Volvo proved in the past few years, with their 80 series sedans and 70 series coupes (which even made it into a James Bond movie!) that they had it in them…if they tried.
		It will be to Volvo dealers…they have been screaming for a line like this for the last half of this decade, as competitive import cars were offering more style and performance for much less of a price tag than the average Volvo offered.
		S40 and V40 will be a real test for Volvo dealers, and we'll find out soon if they can sell and service a larger number of cars then they ever have before.

		Volvo, the Swedish brand known for putting occupant safety above all else, has done well in North America trading on its traditional strengths.
		The S40 compact sedan is another example of Volvo's treading into the new millennium of auto design.
		Now in its second generation, the Volvo S40 is the brand's third-best selling vehicle, and is thus partly responsible for Volvo's standing as the one single profitable holding in Ford's 'Premiere Automotive Group' (PAG) basket of premium European nameplates.

	2005 Volvo S40 T5 AWD Review
		The second-generation S40 sedan and V50 wagon are the sportiest of the current Volvo lineup, with the exception of the S60 and V70 ``R'' models, and give Volvo a solid presence in the premium sport-compact segment.
		The biggest difference between the S40 and V50 is, of course, that the V50 is a wagon and the S40 is a sedan.
		The S40 is nearly as tall as the mid-sized S60, and has a similarly-long, nearly-fastback roofline, but its shorter wheelbase and length give it chunkier proportions that are playfully muscular.

		Outside, the S40 manages to blend traditional Volvo styling cues with contemporary lines, giving an overall modern feel that nevertheless won't be mistaken for the product of any other brand.
		Volvo Intelligent Vehicle Architecture, or VIVA for short, is the latest in the list of acronyms denoting the brand's holistic approach to safety.
		Various panels and chassis members are constructed from one of four different grades of steel, chosen specifically for the strength and crush characteristics necessary for that particular piece.

	Volvo S40 and V40
		THE VOLVO V40 draws on the fresh Volvo styling cues first seen in the S40 to create a car that is far removed from the traditional Volvo estate, without sacrificing the versatility for which the cars are renowned.
		As with the S40, the new front-wheel-drive V40 draws heavily on Volvo's experience with the acclaimed 850 range to create a car that puts driver pleasure to the fore, whilst still retaining Volvo's leadership in the areas of safety, quality and practicality.
		Boasting Volvo's unique SIPS side-impact protection system, side-airbags, ABS brakes, electronic childproof locks on the rear doors and three-point seatbelts for all five passengers, the V40 is a hard act for the opposition to follow.

		About 15 years ago (about the time this movie was released), Volvo's PR flacks were all stoked for the "boxy but good" shout out in the movie, as they thought it would help shake the brand's then somewhat "plain" image.
		Sure, Volvo's S40 isn't exactly new to these shores, but the current design is still "fresh" in our eyes.
