S 60 getting some serious attention.

S60 is really hitting its stride

Doesn’t seem that long ago we posted this blog entry:http://www.volvoblog.us/2011/02/28/monday-mornings-can-be-sooo-nice/
On October 25, 2011, Consumer Reports released an overall summary of their 2011 readers survey on Reliability. Here’s what they said about our S60:
Mixed results from EuropeGo buy their annual report, and see for yourself what we’ve been up to these past few years.
European models continue to be a blend of reliable and not so reliable vehicles. Overall, European vehicles’ reliability is slightly below that of domestic models. Of the 58 European models for which Consumer Reports has sufficient data, 37 (64 percent) scored average or better in predicted reliability.
Among European brands, Volvo ranked the highest at 10th overall. It was helped by the redesigned S60, which was above average in its first year.
Consumer Reports Annual Auto Survey Ratings are unrelated to Consumer Reports vehicle road-test results, but are a key factor in determining whether or not Consumer Reports recommends a car. CR only recommends models that have performed well in tests conducted at its 327-acre Auto Test Center in Connecticut, and that have average or better predicted reliability based on its annual survey. In addition, vehicles must perform at least adequately in government or insurance-industry crash and rollover tests, if tested, in order to be Recommended by Consumer Reports.
Full reliability history charts and predicted-reliability ratings on hundreds of 2012 models, plus a list of what’s up and what’s down, best and worst models, and a comparison chart of brands can be found online at www.ConsumerReports.org, in the December issue and in the latest Consumer Reports Cars publication, Best & Worst New Cars for 2012 ($7.99 U.S./$8.99 Canada), on sale November 15, 2011 everywhere magazines are sold.
Not bad for a brand new car. As of last month, we sold 15,799, putting S60 way ahead of all other other cars by sales volume. We just came back from a long trip and funny how many people looked at our Vibrant Copper S60 T5. Even a BMW owner gave us a thumbs up. : )

Bob Byers Volvo Overseas Program blog
This is one of those, “Is it too good to be true?” stories that is very good and very true! We can vouch for it: you can order your new Volvo at our dealership and take delivery in Europe…and not only get FREE airfare for two, but save money.
Bob Byers Volvo ranks among the top selling Volvo dealerships in the country for this popular program because we have sales associates who have been working with the Overseas Delivery Program for many years.
Here’s how it works.
You can select your Volvo from a stock of vehicles or get one built to your specifications, then arrange to pick up your car at the Volvo factory in Gothenberg, Sweden. Along with the two round trip airfare tickets, you’ll receive a free night’s stay in a first class hotel in Gothenberberg, a tour of the facility and the keys to your new Volvo.
Now the fun begins. You can take your new Volvo and tour Europe for up to six months. After all, you got there for free, so why not take advantage of it? Visit the cities you’ve always wanted to see, and do it in the luxury, comfort and safety of your Volvo.
When you’re ready to return, you can leave your car at any number of ports to have it shipped to your home.
On average, people purchasing through the Overseas Delivery Program save up to 8% on the cost of their Volvo. Add the round trip airfare for two, the accommodations, the thrill of seeing Europe, and you’ve got a winner.
Whether you’re from Seattle, Bellevue, Lynnwood, Tacoma or anywhere in the state (or outside of Washington), we can send you to Europe and bring home your new Volvo.
From Austria to France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the Netherlands and others, your new Volvo can be shipped back to the States for a minor surcharge (check with your salesperson for a current list and the charges). Just think, you won’t have to worry about a rental car, and look at those savings.
The most popular Volvo models are available for delivery within as little as 30-45 days, certainly worth the short wait.
You can get more details on our website, but we suggest you visit us in person to hear about the program from one of our Overseas Delivery specialists. They can tell you about some great experiences from customers who have taken advantage of this program, and several who do it more than once.
