The Prancing Moose Sticker onde comprar: http://davebarton.com/VolvoPrancingMoose.html
Understanding how this whole moose thing evolved.
Moose History 101: When the XC90 debuted in 2002, Volvo organized several test drive events, where quite a few Volvo fans came out to see and drive the new SUVs on cone slalom courses. Volvo was showing off their new and advanced Dynamic Stability Traction Control (DSTC), a first for an SUV. One of the courses was a special slalom, where a professional driver would take a carload of folks, accelerate to a high speed (60 mph if I recall correctly), keep his foot firmly planted on the gas to the floor, and crank the wheel as hard as he could one direction, then the other, simulating the avoidance of an object in the road, such as a moose (really just some cones). The DSTC was truly an amazing feature. Many other tall vehicles would have certainly become very unstable and possibly lost control, spun out or even rolled over during such an extreme maneuver, but the Volvo's DSTC took over and kept the SUV in perfect form without a hint of trouble. Volvo was calling this course the "Moose Avoidance Test," which seems to be a fairly common test in places that might actually have mooses running out in front of cars.
Later, when Volvo began showing their new SUV at various places, such as car expos, it was sporting a pair of moose stickers on its fenders (although it was a cartoon-like standing moose profile, not a prancing moose). This concept inspired the Volvo Prancing Moose. So if you own a Volvo AND have a sense of humor, these stickers are a must. And as you can see, they are also available for our SAAB cousins. And the plain moose stickers are turning up on other cars too and 4WD vehicles. We hope the moose will bring world peace one day.

Tive um primeiro contacto estático com o XC60.
Gostei muito da estética exterior e interior. No interior a combinação de duas cores de pele nos bancos, as cores a madeira sem ser envernizada na consola central estão francamente de bom gosto.
Estes SUVs têm sensivelmente a corpulência dos anteriores BMW X5, portanto combinam escala/imponência/versatilidade. Enfim parecem-me excelentes escolhas.
O volvo terá preços a começar em 51 mil Euros com o motor D5 que julgo será sempre uma alternativa mais interessante do que os 2 litros Audi ou mesmo BMW

200 hp Flexifuel Volvo V70 and S80
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Environmental responsibility with spice[/FONT]
May 13, 2008
source: Volvo Car Corporation The Volvo V70 and S80 are now also available with a five-cylinder, 2.5-litre turbocharged Flexifuel engine with a power output of 200 hp (147 kW) and 300 Nm of torque.
"The 2.5-litre version adds spice to our environmental offer. It emphasises our aim to offer our buyers the possibility of combining performance with environmental responsibility. With 200 hp on tap, the driver gets a dynamic drive without compromising fuel economy," says Fredrik Arp, President and CEO of Volvo Car Corporation.
From a pure technological viewpoint, it would have been possible for Volvo Cars' engine experts to reach a power output above 200 hp. But extra power would require more fuel in the upper rev range - which in turn translates into considerably higher fuel consumption.
"200 horsepower is the ideal power level for this engine. This makes it possible for the car owner to cover the daily driving without the need for a richer air/fuel mix than the ideal value, which is 14,7:1. We think that our buyers will appreciate that we are focusing on a competitive fuel consumption," says Magnus Jonsson, Senior Vice President, Research & Development at Volvo Cars.
Available with automatic transmission
"Another new development is that the 2.5FT is available with both a manual and an automatic gearbox. This is further proof of our ambition to offer environmental alternatives in our larger models without compromising comfort or driving pleasure," adds Magnus Jonsson.
Fuel consumption (EU combined) for the new 2.5-litre Flexifuel version is 9.2 l/100 km (V70 and S80) with the manual gearbox and 10.2 l/100 km (V70) and 10.1 l/100 km (S80) with the automatic gearbox.
The Flexifuel cars can run on E85 bioethanol or 95-octane unleaded petrol - or any mix of these two fuels. Due to its lower energy content, fuel consumption when running on E85 is 30-40 percent higher than when running on petrol. The exact difference depends on variables such as driving style, exterior temperature and variations in the fuel specification.
One of the most extensive offers
Both the Volvo S80 and V70 have also been available with a 2-litre four-cylinder, naturally aspirated Flexifuel engine since the end of 2007. The 2.0F produces 145 hp (107 kW) and 185 Nm of torque.
Volvo Cars will have one of the automotive market's most extensive biofuel ranges. All in all, five models - the Volvo C30, S40, V50, V70 and S80 - are available with one or two Flexifuel engines.
The Flexifuel variants of the Volvo S40, V50 and C30 have a four-cylinder 1.8-litre naturally aspirated engine, the 1.8F, which produces 125 hp (92 kW) and 165 Nm of torque.
All engines and other relevant components have been adapted for driving on E85 through a number of modifications.
Growing demand in Europe
Bioethanol is an entirely renewable fuel that can be made from most biomass sources such as sugar cane, corn, wheat, sugar-beet and cellulose. When running on E85 (85 percent bioethanol, 15 percent petrol) carbon dioxide emissions from bioethanol are regarded as part of nature's own carbon cycle.
Volvo Cars is launching Flexifuel cars on increasing numbers of markets. In addition to Sweden, which is by far the largest market, these models are sold in France, Norway, Italy, Finland, Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, Spain, Great Britain, Ireland, Belgium, Switzerland and Thailand. Flexifuel cars are about to be introduced in more countries across Europe.
In total, Volvo Cars expects to sell around 20,000 Flexifuel cars in 2008.
Descriptions and facts in this press material relate to Volvo Cars' international car range. Described features might be optional. Vehicle specifications may vary from one country to another and may be altered without prior notification.

Viva,
Alguém me pode dar uma ideia se o sistema de som High Performance vale a pena? Foi o que encomendei.
Tem diferença para o base (Performance)?

Possuo o High Performance e é bastante bom, s/dúvida. Não tenho meio de comparação c/o base, mas tem mais umas colunazecas penso eu, q ajudam a ficar c/um som bastante porreiro e potente. Nunca precisei de fazer grandes ajustes ao equalizer p/ficar c/um som q eu aprecio bastante [
