A few months back, we here at Volvo of Burlingame were telling you all about our favorite automaker's strides in the way of Cyclist Detection technology. Given all the bikers we have at our dealership here in Burlingame, CA, we couldn't help but feel like Volvo was looking out just for us. And given how many cyclist lose their lives in automotive crashes each year, it was a much-needed service they provided.
For while there, it seemed like all that we here at Volvo of Burlingame could talk about was our favorite automaker's commitment to the crash-free future of our new and used car lineup. Then again, it's hard to deny that this undertaking is as exciting as it is ambitious. And in case you were starting to think we had one-track minds, it now looks like the rest of the world is finally starting to take notice.
If we here at Volvo of Burlingame learned anything from our favorite automaker's strides in the world of kinetic energy, it's that the brass at Volvo aren't afraid to be different. And why should they be? Just think of how far the new and used cars on our lot have evolved over the years and continue to be improved upon from one model to the next. Change is a beautiful thing, folks, and the great thing about Volvo is that ingenuity comes standard.
As much as our customers care about performance, safety and affordability in their new or used cars, the name of the game seems to be fuel economy here at Volvo of Burlingame. It's a no-brainer really, what with just about every automaker out there trying to stake their claim in the market by reducing their carbon footprint and saving you money at the pump. As you can imagine, Volvo's one of those automakers, and if the recent work on their kinetic energy recovery system (KERS) is any indication, we might have a game-changer on the horizon.
Not that we here at Volvo of Burlingame don't love the lives we've made for ourselves here in scenic Burlingame, CA, but we have to admit, we're a wee bit jealous of Australians these days. Not only do they get the Great Barrier Reef, and not only do they originate from the same land down under as Men at Work, but now they're even getting our favorite automaker's new and used cars before we do. Allow us to explain:
If all these blog posts here at Volvo of Burlingame are any indication, our favorite automaker does not mess around when it comes to the safety of their new and used cars. Doesn't matter if you're behind the wheel or walking down the street, because when Volvo says they'll have a crash-free lineup by 2020, they mean to make good on their promise. In fact, they're so devoted their mission that even their pranks revolve around safety.
Well, folks, you know the drill: another day, another update from Volvo of Burlingame about how our favorite automaker is changing driving forever. First, it was the promise of a crash-free new and used car lineup by 2020; then, it was Volvo's Active High Beam technology at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. Now, Volvo's pulling back the curtain on yet another cutting-edge system that actually has cyclists in mind.
There isn't an automaker out there that doesn't have safety in mind when designing a car. It makes sense when you consider that safety's been a top priority for every single person that's visited our dealership here at Volvo of Burlingame looking to buy a new or used car. But when it comes to safety, Volvo doesn't play around, Volvo starts a revolution.
Just the other week, we here at Volvo of Burlingame told you all about our favorite automaker's big redesign plans for the Volvo XC90. Exciting news in its own right, but nothing compared to the news that we've just caught wind of. Believe it or not, the new XC90 was just the tip of the iceberg. Lo and behold, Volvo has plans to significantly update just about every last new and used car at our dealership.
Five years ago, the powers that be at Volvo made a promise to the world that even we here at Volvo of Burlingame thought was a whole new level of ambitious. For those who happened to miss it, they promised that they would have zero injuries or deaths in their vehicles by the year 2020. If it were any other automaker, we probably wouldn't buy it, but as is evidenced in all the new and used cars on our dealership, driver safety is no laughing matter to Volvo.
