| I'm surprised that only the Volvo XC90 is on there. I would expect to see the S40, S60, S80, V50, and V70 as well. That's what Volvo is all about. |

We know that Volvo used to be like this, totall ahead of the class, but is it still true? Car safety has increased greatly in the 90's, and most makers now build 'safe' cars. I think Volvo has lost a lot of ground in this area.
Did they consider any domestics? If they did, and not a single one made the list :nervous: |
