The Toyota Prius is more than a car. It’s a phenomenon. It’s proof that more people than Toyota imagined want to drive cars with significantly improved fuel economy and radically less environmental impact. Toyota has boosted production to keep up with the demand, and the 2006 model benefits from the addition of new advanced airbags and other safety technology plus new comfort and convenience features.

The Volvo S40 returns for its sophomore year with a number of minor changes to the three-model Lineup, which continues to be loaded with features at competitive prices.

Safety is a top priority at Volvo, and all S40 and V50 wagon since the models come with side curtain and side-impact airbags, Projector-type headlamps, a rear fog light, and anti-lock brakes with electronic brake-force distribution.
