Reviews SummaryWhen Volvo brought the S90 name back to the United States in 2017, it put an exclamation point on a refreshed lineup. The formerly staid Swedish brand was now competing in the luxury field. The 2021 Volvo S90 Recharge T8 Inscription shows off the best Volvo offers in terms of design, technology, safety, and luxury, making it a fitting flagship for the lineup. | |
Reviews SummaryIf building a car is hard, then building a brand-new car company is nearly impossible. Luckily for Polestar, the calculus becomes much more reasonable when the fledgling company in question has the backing of an international automaker giant. Polestar may appear as just an electric off-shoot of Volvo—they’re both headquartered in Gothenberg, Sweden—but it’s held as the “guiding star” for Geely Car Groups, a massive, Chinese-based automaker. Positioned firmly within the luxury segment, Polestar aims to compete against the Teslas and Audis of the electric vehicle world, and the 2 is its first big push. | |
