As far as beauty goes, Volvo already has an upper-hand. I mean, have you seen the ergonomically designed, serene Swedish interiors of new Volvo cars and SUVs? Or how about the sleek exterior styling of new Volvo vehicles? The Volvo XC40 doesn't stray from Volvo's tradition of designing beautiful cars. But it's also admittedly edgier, funkier, and more modern than any Volvo ever released.

You're driving along and your check engine light comes on. What now? The best thing you can do is to get it checked out as soon as you possibly can. If you ignore the problem, it won't just go away and chances are the problem will just get much worse. Just be sure that you aren't confusing your check engine light with your service engine light, which simply means that your next oil change is due. Many times, the check engine light just means something minor is at hand, like a loose gas cap, or even humidity…

A crack in your windshield is not dangerous, provided you're not driving anywhere. A crack can occur at any time, to anyone. Debris, including twigs, glass, rubber, and rocks and metals, can all fly in the air, picked up by the car's tires ahead of you. It can hit your windshield, and a crack can appear.

This crack may look innocuous. It may be just a chip out of the glass. But what has happened has weakened your windshield, and further stress can crack and shatter the windshield with disastrous consequences. It is wisest to replace the windshield…

If you love your vehicle, and even if you don't, regular maintenance and service is important for many reasons. Not only does it prolong the life of your vehicle and help keep you safe, but it also helps to maintain the vehicle's value over time. Oil changes and basic tune-ups should be done on a consistent basis. Other factory recommended services should be scheduled and performed on time.

If you service and maintain your vehicle regularly, you will have fewer surprises and unexpected costly repairs. It is a good idea to keep all receipts associated with maintenance of…

Oil changes are usually the first form of maintenance that we perform on our vehicles after we purchase them. We want to ensure that we get the most from our vehicles and scheduling oil changes are essential to their long-term health. It is important to know whether to use synthetic oil or conventional in your vehicle and it is also important to know the difference between the two.

Achieve balance for your car equilibrium with regular oil changes in addition to other typical maintenance. The overall performance of your car is related to establishing an equilibrium between all the running components in the car. When one part of the system stops working or goes into disrepair, it can often lead to further problems down the road which are often more costly and likely to disable to vehicle until full repair.

Your car isn't just a big hunk of metal. It's your (in some cases only) way of getting around. Due to this fact, it's crucial that you keep your car running, and in good condition. A vehicle maintenance schedule is a very useful resource to use toward doing just that. Most every auto manufacturer will provide a schedule for what services your car needs, based on how many miles you've driven it. After a certain amount of miles, different parts of your car wear down and need to be replaced.

In a press release from earlier today, Volvo Cars announced the introduction of Skype for Business, Microsoft’s leading collaborative productivity app, to 90 Series cars. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Volvo will become the first automaker to offer such a product.

The news comes via a press release issued yesterday by the Swedish luxury automaker. Making its North American debut during the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, the Volvo V90 will be available for the 2018 model year later in 2017.

“Wagons are an important part of Volvo’s history” said Lex Kerssemakers, President and CEO of Volvo Car USA. “After successfully launching the XC90 SUV, S90 sedan and most recently V90 Cross Country, we complete our 90…

What does a luxury experience mean to you? The classic picture of luxury most people think of involves oversized mansions, crystal chandeliers, exotic cuisine, impractical ball gowns, priceless artwork, and a general sense of imperiousness.

Boring.

Enjoying the finer things in life doesn't mean staying cooped up inside an expensive house, surrounded by expensive possessions. To Bay Area socialites, luxury is all about experiences. It's about building memories, telling stories, and -- yes -- getting there in style.

The 2017 Volvo V90 Cross Country delivers the height of safety...
