The Volvos with the Little Blue Badge

The Volvos with the Little Blue Badge

By: Dan Lehr, Pre-Owned Sales Manager

The little blue badge on certain Volvos…chances are you have seen them, or at least heard the name “Polestar” before. But what does it mean? Well, it is Volvo-speak for performance and a great way to add more spark to your drive.

Let’s flash back to the 1990s, when things were a little boxier in the world of Volvo. The revolutionary Volvo 850 was just launched with critical acclaim, and Volvo decided to take it racing. In both sedan and wagon form, the Volvo 850 demonstrated killer instincts on the track, with the team lead by what was to be called Polestar. Polestar would then go on to campaign S40s, C30s and more recently S60s in both the Swedish Touring car racing series and European Touring car series. The rest is history as they say.

Since then, Polestar has been Volvo’s racing partner and performance developer for not only racing endeavors, but also the cars you can buy right from the dealership. In fact, Lehman Volvo Cars of York is an authorized Volvo Polestar dealership and sells the cutting edge 362 horsepower S60 Polestar and V60 Polestar, (See more details here).

Lehman Volvo Cars of York also has a 2016 Certified Pre-Owned S60 Polestar in stock. With its high level of features (Navigation, Blind Spot Information System, Adaptive Cruise Control) and high level of performance (Sport Wheels, Adjustable suspension, upgraded brakes), there is nothing else like it! Experience Volvo Safety, comfort, performance and luxury with the Award-Winning 7 Year/100,000 Mile Certified Warranty coverage (from original in-service date).


In addition to selling the exclusive Polestar performance models, Lehman Volvo Cars of York also has models with the optional Polestar performance optimization like this Certified Pre-Owned Volvo S90 T5.


The Polestar optimization enhancement boosts horsepower and torque without a penalty in fuel economy. Even better, the performance upgrade will not void the new car factory warranty or Certified Pre-Owned warranty.

You can add Polestar performance to most modern Volvos, so whether you are buying new or Certified Pre-owned ask about adding some more kick with the little blue badge.

Here is your Volvo Safety...

Image
What you see above is the result of an accident between a tractor trailer, a Volvo XC60...and another tractor trailer. If you think the end result is devastating, just be aware...the driver and passenger of the Volvo XC60 walked away from this accident with only minor injuries. This accident happened in Brussels a couple of days ago, here is some of the report from their newspaper: A car containing a mother and daughter crashed into the back of a truck. The vehicle disappeared completely under the rear end of the heavy truck. To make matters worse, a heavy truck crashed into the Volvo XC60 from behind. The result was a lot of scrap. The emergency services had to rescue the two women from the car, who were trapped for more than one hour. The fire brigade had to cut off the roof of the vehicle before being able to set them free. The two ladies must have had a guardian angel as they got off with only minor injuries. They were taken to the hospital for a routine check up So wh

How do I get one of those red plates?!

Image
It's a question we get every now and then. "How do I get one of those red plates?"...those red plates you see on various Volvos in Central Pennsylvania are actually Swedish Tourist plates. And the way to get them is to purchase your next new Volvo from Lehman Volvo through the Overseas Delivery program. In addition to being the BEST way to purchase your new Volvo, the Overseas Delivery program provides you with complimentary airfare for 2 to Sweden, a complimentary hotel stay and yes...that little red plate. Its another benefit to the program...Volvo provides you with complimentary European registration and Insuraunce for up to 14 days. And with that, your vehicle becomes a tourist vehicle. Once it reaches the US, Volvo makes sure that your red tag stays with the car, so you have a very cool and unique souvenier to remind you of the time you drove your Volvo in Sweden.
