New VOLVO Intense Driving Tests

Hällered, a fenced-in 7 million m² area an hour away from Gothenburg, Sweden, is Volvo Cars main testing facility. The track stretches 26 km, consisting of 15 different test tracks designed to simulate every type of road surface and weather condition a car can be subjected to during its long life time, including a fully-equipped public highway within the area. The tests are carefully planned and computer monitored. In just a few months, cars are aged as much as during the entire anticipated lifetime of the vehicles in normal traffic, thanks to test drivers working around the clock. The car's active safety system is also tested at the facility. A special rig has been developed just to test the Pedestrian Detection system that should detect pedestrians and apply the brakes if the driver does not react in time.

If by "German car style" you mean the driver will need to fill up with oil every 6 weeks (as with the Audi's), have constant injector issues (like Mercedes) or have more recalls than almost any other manufacturer (VW) then you are correct. But some of us could live without that sort of "style" and perhaps testing such as what is indicated in the video would help alleviate some of the serious issues mentioned.

having no audio for the first 3 minutes.... :S

[@TheAussieRod]

I love the music

I can honestly say that this work as paid off for the new S60. WE have the 2012 S60 T5 and it is faster and more nimble than my 2009 A4 2.0T Quattro was. AND gets better gas mileage, despite its bigger engine. In fact, I would say it is a better car in ever way than the Audi, with exception to looks.
