Volvos Get Naughty

What with its heritage as the vehicle for preppy, suburban families, “naughty” is the last word that comes to mind when thinking of a Volvo. So either Arnold is way off with this new Volvo campaign or they are doing everything they can to reposition the brand as choice vehicle for porn stars, Victoria’s Secret models and lipstick lesbians.

Or maybe this will just cement the brand’s heritage as a bus for the over-privileged upper middle class and their naughty children.

Hmm. How about “Volvos. They’re boxy but they’re good”? Oh wait. That’s been done.
