GARY C. KNAPP for THE VIRGINIAN-PILOT

Diane and James Broadway have traveled to the Mercedes-Benz factory

in Sindelfingen, Germany, twice to pick up new cards. In 1994, their

sons Sean, 15, left, and Chris, 18, right went along to take

delivery of their E420 and enjoy a two-week vacation driving through

Europe.

Oke Gustavson liked Volvo's European Delivery Program when he bought

a 960 last year so much that he's ordering a new Volvo like the

model shown for delivery in Europe this summer.

Saab's new European Delivery Center in Trollhatan, Sweden, offers

approximately a 10 percent discount on the car's cost, as well as

other perks.
