Volvo's S80 luxury sedan adds a more fuel-efficient PZEV (Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle) engine to its option list for 2010.

The base S80 3.2 uses a 3.2-liter six-cylinder engine, rated at 235 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque. Known as the B6324S, this is a very compact 24-valve, DOHC inline six, designed for transverse-engine, FWD applications. Newly optional for 2010 is a PZEV version, retuned for lower emissions and better fuel economy. The PZEV engine has only 225 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque, but meets tough Tier II, Bin 2 EPA emissions standards.

Both 3.2-liter engines lag behind key rivals in both power and fuel economy. The 3.2-liter's 16/25 EPA rating is sub-par for this class, and the PZEV engine's 18/27 rating is no better than the bigger V6s in the Cadillac CTS or Lincoln MKZ, both of which have better overall performance and greater refinement.

The S80 T6 AWD has a 3.0-liter turbocharged six, rated at 281 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. This engine, known as B6304T, has an intercooled twin-scroll turbocharger, designed to enhance power at low and mid-range engine speeds. The 3.0-liter turbo engine brings the S80's performance in line with similarly priced rivals, and its 16/24 EPA rating is only slightly worse than the 3.2-liter.

The top-of-the-line S80 V8 AWD has a 4.4-liter DOHC V8 with 311 horsepower and 325 lb-ft of torque. This all-aluminum engine, known as the B8444S, was designed by Volvo and Yamaha. It has an unusual 60-degree bank angle, making it compact enough for transverse applications. The 4.4-liter V8 is only slightly stronger than the 3.0-liter turbo, and its 311 horsepower is unimpressive for an engine of this size. The 3.6-liter V6 in the 2010 Cadillac CTS nearly matches the V8's power and soundly beats its thirsty 15/22 EPA rating.

Wheel Power Gets Better

Cars do not work too well without quality wheels. Wheels secure the performance of the car and the safety of the occupants. This is the reason why a car purchaser should know the elements that make wheels outstanding.

Wheels come in a wide-variety of choices. Magnesium alloy, chrome, steel, and aluminum are some of the choices. Nonetheless, the most famous among them is Magnesium alloy wheels or "mag wheels." These wheels are commonly used on racing cars for better performance. This is because magnesium alloy wheels are lighter than steel or aluminum wheels.

Magnesium alloy wheels are produced by hot forging from magnesium alloys ZK60 and MA-14. The typical weight of a magnesium alloy wheel is approximately 8 to 12 kilograms, depending on the car model. Drawbacks of this type of wheel include the high price and the difficulty of recycling. Hence, it is not practical most street cars.

Steel wheels, on the other hand, are the most convenient tire package especially during winter. They are usually available in black and silver finish. Styling is made easier by using updated wheel covers. Compared to other alloys, steel wheels are more affordable. Steel is preferred by automakers because it is easy to manufacture and it reduces material costs.

Wheels also vary in size. People who are serious about their cars are aware that the size of the wheel is crucial to the performance of the vehicle. The primary effect of altering the wheel diameter is the need to change the gears to adjust the ratio of engine speed to wheel rotation speed. This is because the bigger the wheels are, the slower the car become. Nonetheless, the acceleration and top speed of a car do not solely depend on the wheel diameter if the gear ratio is optimized for that particular diameter. Larger wheels will not be affected by small road bumps.

Nowadays, the offer of a 26 inch wheel and tyre package is no longer amazing. These wheels can be used by Cadillac Escallade, Lincoln Navigator and Hummer. They can also serve as custom Ford truck wheels for F150 and other large American trucks.

When it comes to quality, durability and design, auto aficionados prefer Ford truck wheels, GMC truck wheels, and Toyota wheels. These wheels are especially manufactured to match their makes and models.

Furthermore, quality wheels must have routine maintenance to keep them in perfect working condition. In addition, maintenance give auto wheels longer wear. Owners can also opt for customization to personalize the car.

Safety comes first at Sugar Creek limestone mine
The descent takes perhaps 90 seconds. Daylight blinks out, and the speed of the steel cage’s descent accelerates. Soon, the ears pop slightly.
