NEW VOLVO S90 VS 5 SERIES, A4
Volvo used to be famous for two things: big boxy cars and top-notch safety. Its new large executive saloon, the S90, deftly shows just how far the design department has changed direction. Safety is still a major part of the Swedish brand’s modus operandi, though, so all manner of driver aids are thrown in as standard.
