Volvo the 'flashiest' car?

MORE Volvos get flashed by SPEED cameras than any other car, it was revealed yesterday.

The Swedish motors - once famed for their dowdy image - topped a poll of drivers who admitted they were zapped in 2002.

A staggering 43 per cent of Volvo S80 drivers put their hands up - and Volvo S60 owners also made the top ten.

A spokesman for Auto Express magazine, who polled 25,000 readers, said: "Volvos are no longer dreary.
The S80 is stylish with good performance engines."

The top ten cars flashed by a camera are:

1 Volvo S80
2 Alfa Romeo 156
3 Lotus Elise
4 Mercedes E-Class
5 BMW 5 Series
6 Audi A4
7 Saab 9-3
8 Volvo S60
9 Mazda 626
10 BMW Compact

Sun Motoring Editor Ken Gibson said of Volvo drivers: "It appears the green-welly brigade have become boy racers."

Thats based on the autoexpress survey which was clearly bollocks. Thus this is also bollocks.
