10 Things You Should Know About the 2011 Volvo S60
Better in every way, but not best
by Thom Blackett
No matter who you are, where you reside, or what you do, competition is
a part of your daily existence. It's integral to relationships,
academics, sports, business, and countless other aspects of our lives.
It's also the driving force behind the development of vehicles like the
2011 Volvo S60. A respectable but nerdy four-door in 2009, this sedan
from the Chinese-owned Swedish car company reemerges for 2011 with a
style and attitude that's as new as the safety technology it delivers.
From its engine to its chassis and design, the redesigned S60 is simply
better in every way. Think of it as the second-string kid who spent a
summer working his tail off in hopes of being the first-string
quarterback when the next football season rolled around. For the S60,
great strides were indeed made during its off-season, but as we
recently discovered while attending a Volvo-sponsored test drive,
improving yourself doesn't necessarily correlate with beating the
competition.
