Fifth Gear had the polestar S60 vs the Polestar STCC race car last night, not the point of the OP I know, but still...for anyone that missed it, TIVO.

When we bought our XC70 7 or 8 years ago, our daughter was not impressed and wanted us to buy something more flashy; then one of her friends pointed out that it was identical to the one that the main character in Desperate Housewives drove and all of a sudden it was cool!

Over 4 years on and I am still amazed by the number of Volvos I see in films and on TV dramas.

The latest series of Shetland is like a promo film for the new V90. It's in almost every external shot with Perez - and nicely framed to get a good shot of it too.

My wife and I joke when watching TV to see how long before the first Volvo appears and it usually in the first 15 minutes. The old 1980's estate variety is very common.

Shows that the Volvo product placement department is working well.
I wonder if I can persuade them to loan me a new XC60 to sit on the drive and drive around to demo how nice the car is.
