(Adweek) Volvo is hoping that because Edward Cullen drives one of their cars in Twilight, fans of the movie will start buying their cars, because if there's one thing teenaged girls love, it's safe, bland, Swedish cars
Buy Volvos. They're boxy, but they're good. We know they're not sexy. This is not a time to be sexy anyway with so many new diseases around. Be safe instead of sexy. Volvo: boxy but good.

Laugh while you can, monkey-boy. I already know a girl at work who got a XC60 for exactly that reason.
No different, really, than all the teenage guys who got Firebirds and Trans-Ams in the '70's because of Burt Reynolds in "Smokey and the Bandit". Or the people who bought Mini Coopers after "The Italian Job.

Pfft.
All movies should feature tricked-out Yugos...
... even period-piece films like Last of the Mohicans, 1776, and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
You can't tell me that Peter Jackson's King Kong couldn't have been improved by way of a fleet of Yugos chasing after the title character.

They don't. Teenage girls have mommies and daddies who have credit and want their precious to be in a safe car.

What if the Volvo does nothing that a car is suppose to do? Would that be more in-step with the film?

Any Saab purists here? I learned to drive a stick shift on a Saab 99, like the one pictured here.

True, but my daughter's getting a 10-year-old Volvo. No credit involved.
