This week VehicleVoice introduces you to AutoPacific’s Automotive Futures Center in Southern California. The analysts and experts of AutoPacific do in-person research at the this facility that is one-of-a-kind kind in the world. AutoPacific clients from the USA, Europe, Japan, Korea and China use thte Automotive Futures Center to identify what American consumers really want in their next cars and trucks.
Also on tap, we begin a new occasional series called Test Drive, where we spotlight a specific vehicle and a specific destination. This week it’s the Volvo S80 and the Colorado Rockies, where there’s still plenty of snow to add a twist to our test drive. David Barrett is behind the wheel and takes you for a spin from Denver to Rocky Mountain National Park. This is a last look at the venerable S80 in this guise. The S80 is due for a major freshening later in 2006.
