Volvo just issued a recall for their LATEST 2008 XC70/V70 models. The recall is a software bug for deploying air bags. I almost bought the new xc70 but I need to rethink about it. Not sure if it is the software bug issue for your sister's xc70.

The Kansas City Star recently did an editorial report that found an alarming number of airbags in cars of all makes have been found to have not deployed on impact. So far the NTSB has refused to investigate even though the Star estimates there have been thousands of lives lost as a result.

#122 of 124 What is Volvo's Unique Selling Proposition? by blckislandguy

David Oglivy, one of the greatest ad minds to ever live, said that every product has to have a unique selling proposition. We all know FedEx's. What is Volvo's?0-60 and handling performance? LOL
Great dealer body? Hardly
Reliability? No
Engine Longevity: Not as long as Volvo uses timing belts that need changing
Status? Not to anyone driving a German car
Foul weather capability? Its good if you have an AWD Volvo but not unique
Safety? Again, its good but not unique to the brand
Seating? Yes, its the best!
Don't know though how much volume you can get out of "our seats are the best"

I cannot find any crash test results for the volvo xc70 on the informed for life or NHTSB web sites.I cant believe that volvo, whose cornerstone is saftey does not have crash test data for the consumer to look at and compare
Anyone know how to get that safety information?
