(Adweek) Unlikely
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

"hey, lets go park and not fool around in my Volvo!"



Sad really, Volvo has had some hot cars over the years.

They're boxy, but they're good.

I was unaware teenage girls had the funds or the credit to buy new cars.

Volvos?

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.

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.

It worked last time.

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

I don't think the C30 is exactly bland. It's not eyepopping great, but it's not bad.

What if the Volvo sparkles? Would that make it less bland?

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

Yes. It would be a vortex of suck.

Teenaged girls took to safe, bland vampires. Why not cars?

There's also how SWISS cars are bad to get stuck in neutral

You fool! Swedish cars are wonderful when they're not run by American companies.

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

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.

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