mycket volvo i amerikanska filmer!!??

[Turbogillis]

Jag kollar på en hel del film...kom och tänka på en sak häromdagen!

varför använder dom sej mycket av gamla volvo bilar i amerikanska filmer..typ 244,850,745.s60.xc90

det kanske bara är jag som är ute och cyklar men jag tycker att det har varit det på sista tiden...varför använder dom inte sina egna US bilar...???

gammalt importskrot är nog billigt att köpa in..........särskilt om det ska förstöras.

I'm american and can say that Hollywood and California has always had some strange interest in Volvo. Maybe because when they were in high school they got high/stoned in the back of a 245GL and now they are nostalgic about it in their films . Just remember you guys drink beer here, but in the states we smoke lots of weed and eat Taco Bell. Those old Volvos are like American cars in many ways, (ugly, heavy, boring to drive, drink gas) but what made it different was that Volvo claims it to be a safe car. People bought into that propaganda and Volvo has there little niche in America. Those older Volvos just never die for some reason and that is also a reason that they are around on streets in America. Just die Volvo... please die.

De som kör Volvo i amerikanska filmer är ju alltid de som är offren, de goda och de oskyldiga, som blir mördade, jagade, bortrövade osv. Det är bara ett enkelt sätt att förstärka presentationen av karaktärerna för tittaren.

This is my version...

1. it was not advertised well in the states
2. very few dealerships
3. super high priced
4. for some reason did not have T5 and 300+ HP (they could have killed the crap out of overrated Porsche!) They almost can anyway

When SAAB really started advertising themselves in America it was around the time that GM bought them up and around that time the og900 was going in the grave and the SAAB 9000 "turbo" was the "new hot thing". As you've noticed we like big F@king cars . I only remember seeing an Imola Red 9000 A50 on TV as a kid. I never saw an advertisement with an og900. The first time and almost only time I ever saw one was when I got passed by an og900 Aero while driving my 1971 Charger in 1993. I could not catch up with it and I thought "what kind of weird porsche was that??"

Anyway, SAAB would have had much more success with those older models if they had pulled the thumb out and actually did something with their awesome product. Let's face it, they are amazing at making cars but bad at being proud and showing it off. It was only many years after those cars had been out that people figured out how cool and fast they were. What a shame...

På tal om Jerry (Jerome) Seinfeldt kom jag att tänka på bilen jag såg i staden Jerome, AZ härom året:



Däremot inte en enda Volvo där.

För övrigt körde Jerry i serien en BMW de första säsongerna men jag antar att man ansåg att Saab mer passade karaktären.
