'This is a tremendous achievement and important development for Volvo. We are now recognized as the safest and most luxurious car in the category. This award proves the lengths that Volvo's engineers have gone to ensure that every aspect of our manufacturing procedure is thoroughly looked into. We are proud to be honored with the Executive Saloon of the Year 2007 award.'
The prestigious awards were independently judged by Journalists who, combined, have more than 50 years experience in automotive editorial writing. Volvo's S80 triumphed against its main competitors, the BMW 5 series and the Chevrolet Caprice Royal.
Shahzad Sheikh, Editor of Car ME commented: 'The winner proved to be an even bigger surprise to the very judges that rubber-stamped its accolade. The new Volvo S80 may not have made huge waves on its arrival, but it has quietly evolved into an extremely desirable executive express that remains safe, solid and comfortable, but is also hugely satisfying and remarkably enjoyable to own, especially in V8 four-wheel drive guise, with an inoffensive image that effortlessly transcends class and culture.'
