VCNA President and CEO Mark LaNeve observes: “June was a big month for Volvo as we continue to exceed expectations with S40 and V40 as well as the all new V70 sportswagon series. Our S80 luxury sedan also performed well in June and we are anxiously waiting the launch of our new all-wheel-drive Cross Country, which we begin to ship in July. We are well positioned to meet our objective of sales volume above 140,000 this year.”
