Volvo reaps yet another award for one of its outstanding vehicles in the recently concluded Car ME awards. The Volvo S80 has been named as Executive Saloon of the Year 2007 in an awarding ceremony held at the Dubai Creek Golf and Yacht Club.

Car ME is an automotive magazine in the Middle East and this is the first awards night for the said publication. Volvo is highly pleased to have won the Executive Saloon of the Year 2007 award. Car ME’s judging board consists of journalists who have had years and years of automotive writing experience behind them. With a discerning eye, they have named the Volvo S80 as one of the most impressive automotives out in the Middle Eastern market today.

The Volvo S80 has bested other cars like the BMW 5 series and the Chevrolet Caprice Royal. Shahzad Sheikh, Editor of Car ME, was evidently impressed by the Volvo S80 and is quoted saying, “The winner proved to be an even bigger surprise to the very judges that rubber-stamped its accolade. The new Volvo S80 may not have made huge waves on its arrival, but it has quietly evolved into an extremely desirable executive express that remains safe, solid and comfortable, but is also hugely satisfying and remarkably enjoyable to own, especially in V8 four-wheel drive guise, with an inoffensive image that effortlessly transcends class and culture.”

Upon receiving the award, Roula Beiruty, Volvo Car’s Marketing Manager, is pleased to say that, “This is a tremendous achievement and important development for Volvo. We are now recognized as the safest and most luxurious car in the category. This award proves the lengths that Volvo’s engineers have gone to ensure that every aspect of our manufacturing procedure is thoroughly looked into. We are proud to be honored with the Executive Saloon of the Year 2007 award.”

The voting period is on. This year’s 6th Volvo for Life Awards will change another life as they continue to honor the deserving extraordinary heroes of our time. The voting, which will be held online, is now officially open. This will help the makers of the Volvo auto parts to determine who will win for three categories, and one grand prize awardee. The three categories include: Safety, Quality of Life, and Environment. But one will be named as the hero, with the prize of getting a new Volvo car for every three years of his or her life. The makers of the Volvo auto parts have once again proved their dedication to the people.

Hailing from Texas, a counselor for troubled parents (yes, parents) will prove herself worthy of being named as “America’s Greatest Hometown Hero”. This is another category in the various awards that Volvo will honor. Johana Scot, a dedicated hometown hero, became recognized for helping parents who are about to lose their kids to Children’s Protective Services. Forming an organization, she helped these parents get back on their feet and raise happy, healthy children.

As a former Court Appointed Special Advocate, she was awakened by cases where parents lose their children to Protective Services. This is a remarkable and very noble initiative. While others would rather take the children somewhere else and expect them to live a different life, Scot thinks it is time to unite these families. It was like she wants to get into the core of the problem, which is the parenting. This is how she shone in her local hometown of The Woodlands, and is now hoping to be America’s hometown hero too.
