If you want to take advantage of our safety and not die in your Volvo best buy a new one in 2020, if you don't all bets are off. Paul. |

On BBC News site, on the page that links to the article page is a link and a photo of the rear wheel only of the XC90 photographed for the article. The tyre has some serious side wall damage, confirmed when you zoom in!
The defective tyre photograph and the title above it 'The most significant development since the safety belt' are an odd couple! Bottom of page, under 'Full Story' - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news

Survival of any accident must also be a function of it's severity. I would not care to be in any vehicle that was unfortunate enough to be hit from behind by a truck traveling at 55 MPH, only to be shunted into the back of a second stationary one. Regards. John.

I think it's a brave statement by Volvo, unless they have fathomed out a way of beating the laws of physics. Will it be a combination of their safety systems and autonomous driving technology, and removing the human element? I'm still not convinced it can be done. At least they state should rather than will. Be nice if they can pull it off though. |

Given how they are happy to sell off people's personal data to whichever ambulance chaser pays the most, I'm sure they would be more than happy to collate and sell any data a manufacturer wants. |

I'm completely unsuprised by this.
Look at these Crash Tests of the C30 (which I believe is still the smallest car Volvo has made, atleast in a VERY long time?) Amazing stuff. XC90 seems like a tank compared to the C30.

What with fake news and VW's lying over emissions, I am not very trusting any more and extraordinary claims need extraordinary evidencing. |
