To inscribe something is to leave a signature, or some kind of statement. With its luxury aesthetic and design, along with its spacious interior, the 2012 Volvo XC60 certainly leaves a mark, particularly with the all-new Volvo XC60 Inscription edition.

Finding the right combination of luxury and space to shepherd family, friends, or cargo across the greater Virginia Beach area while also finding a true sense of enjoyment and safety behind the wheel sounds like it's too good to be true. With the Volvo XC90, it's been a reality for years, delivering on all those attributes and more. But, even with all the positive feedback and accolades, Volvo has given its popular crossover a fresh, updated look for the 2013 model year.

If you're planning a vacation in Sweden, you can probably think of many things you'd like to see or do besides visiting a museum. Freedom Volvo believes those in the Virginia Beach area who are thinking of visiting the Nordic nation should find their way to the Volvo Museum, however. Over 67,000 hailing from the United States, Great Britain, China and beyond did in 2011, a 22-percent increase from the previous year.

Over the years, Volvo has led the way in safety features, often times the first to implement innovations like modern three-point safety belts and airbags you'll find equipped in every new car sold. Recently, Volvo has shifted its focus to protecting those outside the car with its latest "City Safety" crash avoidance system and pedestrian airbag technology.

Those of you out there who frequent the Freedom Volvo blog may remember our post about five vehicles earning a "Top Safety Pick" Designation from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. It was a proud moment, to say the least. And now, one of the models that has already impressed us with its solid build quality and safe structural build has managed to, once again, wow safety critics like never before. We are, of course…

Once again, we here at Freedom Volvo have an exciting tidbit of information to relay to you in regards to the Volvo S60. And before you say that you're tired of hearing about safety awards, let us just say that it's nothing of the sort. Rather, this time it has to do with the various trim levels offered in the 2012 Volvo S60 lineup.

What's changed? The level at which all-wheel drive…

We here at Freedom Volvo always knew that safety was the single biggest priority with our favorite Scandinavian automaker, but now the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has made it crystal clear. More specifically, the organization recently bestowed a total of five new Volvo models with their coveted "Top Safety Pick" designation, and we couldn't be happier!

Which specific models took home the top honor? They are the Volvo C30, S60, S80, XC60, and…

Sure it's easy to say that Volvo focuses on the safety of its consumers, but what about the efficiency of its vehicles? Economical models like the Volvo C30 are certainly a step in the right direction, but we here at Mitchell Volvo know that there's more to efficiency than just compact vehicles, like hybrid, electric, and plug-in models too.

And this is exactly where the all-new Volvo XC60 Plug-In Hybrid comes into play…

Has someone ever tried to convince you that it's more practical to drive a vehicle equipped with a manual transmission? The claim is often that a manual transmission will consume less fuel, leading to more miles per gallon travelled, and for the most part it's true. That, however, doesn't mean that it's a convention that all automaker must abide by. After all, Volvo isn't just any automaker.

While you may love your Volvo, we here at Freedom Volvo know that there always comes a time when it's time to upgrade. Whether that means retuning your current ride or looking at one of the many new Volvo models that we carry, one thing remains the same. You can't beat the quality and performance of a finely built Scandinavian auto.
