The Volvo XC90 is a mid-size 3-row family SUV produced by the Swedish car company, Volvo. (This vehicle was also one of the 2 Volvos which were available with a Yamaha-built V8 engine.) Volvo has a large reputation for safety, especially after inventing that 3-point safety belt. Speaking of safety, the first generation XC90 for the 2003 model year was available with a Blind-Spot Information System. (aka BLIS for short) Using cameras and radar technology under the driver and passenger door mirrors, the vehicle could warn you of a vehicle in another lane when changing lanes. It is also one of many Volvos (and one of the very few cars overall) which could withstand being able to ramp yourself off a bridge, be 100 feet in the air, and literally land on its side on a thick sheet of ice and you would still be able to walk after. (And if you're wondering, yes this did happen and yes they were able to walk.)

XC90 Driver: "Well to be fair, I am driving a Volvo XC90, and they're like... invincible."
Prius Lady : *calls tow truck*
XC90 Driver: *drives off with a mediocre dent and a couple of scratches*
