Robert Downey Jr. and our V50
Anna Kruchowski
This was made in 2004 and I have no idea how it slipped past me, but this was done for the UK market and not the U.S. My guess is the cost to air in our market far exceeded any profits we’d get from V50 sales. My mother has this generation V50. At 85 she’s still driving, albeit not as much as she’d like, but she does know her driving time is limited. She’s taken it from Torrance, Calif. up into Wyoming and other Western states. She really enjoys the “sportiness,” whatever that means I really don’t want to know. But it hauls her and her friends with luggage and camera equipment just perfectly. And us brothers feel she’s well protected.

Kind regards and happy Friday,

That’s a fantastic find! Volvo could have given BMW Films a run for its money if they’d released those in America…
Hi Mark,
Yes, would have been sweet. We should have released it via youtube but don’t know what our marketing guys were thinking back them. probably all about money. Heading to Detroit auto show. Am looking forward to 2 degree morning tomorrow. we, james and I, have to be on site at 6:30 am for briefing about Electric C30…which is fine, it’s just the time is tough. Then small media dinner tomorrow night, going to be a long day. Might wear tennis shoes all day. that floor is tough on one’s feet.
I hope you’ve packed your tennis shoes and long johns, Dan… and I will expect you to take me for a spin in the drivE electric C30 at the NYIAS this spring! ; )
