Female Designed Volvo

More than a year ago, Volvo gave female employees a special project: design the car they would like to drive ... everything in a car that men want in terms of performance and styling, "plus a lot more that male car buyers have never thought to ask for," said Hans-Olov Olsson, Volvo's president. The result: a car that's designed to be nearly maintenance-free, requiring an oil change only every 31,000 miles, a low-emission, gas-electric hybrid engine, no hood, gull-wing doors that allow easy access to space behind the driver's seat, dirt-repellent paint and glass, sensors that guide the driver for easier parking and more!
