Sorry yes..AFIAK the older (Pre-850) volvos had dim-dipped with sidelights and rear lights on all the time.
That's what I was on about. Or, was that a country-specific configuration?I remember my unlce had a string of volvos, going back to the earlier 244DL models. Even they used to have their lights permanently on.
Solid tanks though.
Rather than "this ain’t your daddy’s Volvo" the message seems to be more "remember how good your daddy's Volvo was?".
The PV544 is, itself, a performance icon and the one in the video is hardly being grandpa'd about. What this is is a classic tail-happy hooligan making way for a classic nose-heavy hooligan. Cashing in on heritage rather than trashing it.

Ahhh, the lovely T5. I remember a friend's dad had one. The journey up the A9 (the T5 was a perfect car for the A9) was borderline time-travel.
And racing an estate was genius. As was the ad they did run: http://www.themill.com/work/volvo-twister.aspx

Why Volvo felt the need to use the worst performance and delivery of an 'Oh My God' to promote their best car is beyond me.

Had a manual T5R estate for around a year, loved it - no one saw THAT coming off of the lights, especially all the boy racers around here in their hot hatches.
Word to the wise - don't put them on cheap tyres no matter how easily they eat them, it spins the wheels like **** anyway and cheap rubber just makes it much, much worse.
