XC 70 T6

K athleen C arr
Stylish wagons like the 2009
Volvo XC70 look pretty good.
B ased on the front-w heel-
drive V70 wagon, the XC70
adds standard all-wheel drive,
a raised suspension, skid plates
and rough-and-tum ble SUV
styling cues. The X C 70 is
sporting a new turbocharged
inline-6.
The T6 loses a bit of dis­
placement, from 3.2 liters to 3.0,
but gains a formidable 46 horse­
power and 59 pound-feet of
torque over the base engine.
Other T6 AW D features in­
clude standard 17-inch alloy
wheels, dual exhaust outlets and
a unique instrument cluster.
The 2009 Volvo XC70 has a
smooth and refined ride befit­

very few vehicles to offer inte­
grated height-adjustable child
booster seats, and its exterior
and interior styling bear the un­
mistakable stamp o f Swedish
sophistication - with a dash of
off-road toughness thrown in.
The big news for the 2(X)9
Volvo XC70 is the addition of
the turbocharged T6 model. In
other changes, Bluetooth con­
nectivity is now standard and
the new Technology Package
includes satellite radio, active
bi-xenon headlights with wash­
ers, a premium audio system
and rear-seat headphone jacks
and audio controls.
Rose Quarter Bike Lanes Added at Transit Center
k-
For the first time, bikes are le­
gally allowed to travel through
the Rose Quarter Transit Center.
TriMet, the city of Portland, the
Bicycle Transportation Alliance
and the Lloyd District Transpor­
tation Management Association
have been working together for the
past year to make it safe to allow
bikes through the area.
"The Rose Quarter is one of

ride through the transit center
while keeping it safe for our op­

BTA Advocate and Educator

BTA's top priorities over the past
few years.”
