The new chassis of the Gothenburg-built S80 is related to that of the S-Max, a people-hauling crossover from Ford of Europe.
As for the interior, one Volvo stylist likened the shape of the S80’s instrument panel to an “untouched snow-covered meadow on a winter’s day.” While that’s a bit of a stretch, the shapes inside are indeed smooth, and the uncluttered design looks especially Scandinavian when the light wood trim is chosen.
The S80 auto­matically precharges its brakes, moving the pads closer to the rotors to reduce highway stopping distances by what could be a crucial few feet.

Clearly, the S80 remains a Volvo in the traditional sense.
But to compare the Volvo to Audi is to rekindle memories of the first Audis, the 100LS and Fo(i)xes of ’70’s infamy.
Volvo apparently takes safety more seriously than the corporate mothership - the XC90 designed around the time of the Ford takeover and has extra-strong roof pillars to avoid head injury in a rollover.

The Volvo S80 is perhaps the safest and most secured car that the Volvo built by its time, and this was positively uttered by the Volvo Car Corporation.
Other safety and security features for the S80 are the anti-theft system that immobilizes electronically the car without the right key, and that a rotating lock cylinder is built on the driver’s door and ignition making it extremely difficult for a stranger to break in.
For most S80 engines, a choice of 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmissions is available but the T6 engine has Geartronic transmission that is offered in two gearboxes — an automatic for driving style and a manual for driving pleasure.

 2006 Volvo S80 | J.D. Power
The S80, Volvo's flagship sedan, is nearing the final days of its product lifecycle, at least in its current iteration.
For its part, the S80 offers all the safety features expected of a premium sedan, but the lack of a V8 engine and an aging interior design may detract some first-time Volvo buyers.
In the high-priced world of premium luxury sedans, the S80 is projected to retain a lower than average residual value over a five-year period.

 nu.nl/auto | Scandinavische luxe in nieuwe Volvo S80
Volgens de ontwerpers onderscheidt de S80 zich van de concurrentie doordat de Volvo niet is gericht exclusiviteit, onderscheid en prijs, maar omdat op een zoveel mogelijk mensgerichte manier is ontworpen.
Verder zijn er voor de S80 ook twee oude bekenden: de derde benzinemotor is de 200 pk sterke 2,5-liter met low pressure turbo en er is de 185 pk sterke D5 diesel.
Een primeur voor de nieuwe Volvo S80 is de Personal Car Communicator: daarmee kan de bestuurder op een afstand bekijken of de auto is afgesloten of het alarm is geactiveerd.

 2007 Volvo S80 Car Reviews - The Car Connection
Yet luxury still means something different to Volvo, and to understand what it is and why, it's necessary to take a look at Swedish culture and heritage.
Back to appearances, on the outside, the new S80 is a distillation of the outgoing S80's rather conservative lines with the current S60's slightly more radical shape.
Volvo is staying with transverse engines, according to engineers, for their crash-safety advantages.

I am now very concerned because my regular Volvo mechanics (Had an old school 240 for a few years) are telling me that of all the Volvo year and models, this one is the most expensive to upkeep.
