SUV in review: The 2008 Volvo XC90-4 V8 SUV

Whenever I think about cars and safety features, one name comes up: Volvo. I think they are one of, if not the, safest vehicles plying the streets today. With that trail of thought in mind, I wanted to zero in on one of their latest models: The 2008 Volvo XC90-4 V8 SUV.

According to the KBB Editor's Overview, the 2008 Volvo XC90 strikes the perfect balance between car and SUV. Riding atop the previous-generation S80 chassis, the roomy and safe XC90 comes wrapped in a manageable size and equipped with a choice of a V6 or V8 engine. Although more expensive than similarly-sized vehicles from Nissan and Honda, many consider Volvo's more luxurious SUV as something of a status symbol. Regardless of how you view the XC90, there is no arguing with the vehicle's rugged construction, all-weather capability, exemplary safety rating and strong resale value.

Look at how these babies look!
