Volvo Cars' history - since 1927

[psykotanks]

Chrysler had their PT Cruiser. Now I want to see a Volvo PV Crusier ;)

[SuperJerkyBoys]

It's my understanding that for the TV show The Saint, Jaguar and other British car companies wouldn't give them free cars, but Volvo did.

And Roger Moore liked the car so much that he bought one for his personal use.

Good potted history of the marque.

Nice Short Film

[justas525]

Nice video. Nice history

[FRdemo9]

I get pissed when I see a car commercial on TV boasting that their newest and greatest car gets over 30 miles a gallon like it’s a big deal. My 89 Volvo 245 TANK gets 30 mpg in the summer. My 83 245 TANK gets 27. Its been 28 years. Shouldn’t we be able to increase efficiency at least a little?

[doromanekia]

[tonijn1969]

i love the PV544

[Noreg88]

I hate the new designs, volvos should look like 2 legobricks.

[SMGJohn]

Volvo one of the few that really cares about the people driving it and not the money!

[ridgris]

i want a 745 turbo, but too young

[romajo]

that's it. I'm buying myself a Duett!

[EmmaDilemma91]

3:41 what a fantastic crumple zone they had!! i have the sedan version of the GL 240 in red :) been in the family for 20 years now, and hasn't broken down or failed us once.

[carzakone333]

i had a 760 turbo =)

[yusufer5000]

It would be fantastic if they would create a p1800 for the 21century.

[ijkd]

@yusufer5000 They have - it's called the C30

[yusufer5000]

@ijkd I'm not going to say the c30 is a bad car, but i don't feel that it has the same kind of allure the p1800 had. I'd like something along the lines of what Mattias Vocks designed.

[aether020685]

@yusufer5000 .... search youtube for "Koenigsegg P1800"

[Nathandm78]

There was an excellent documentary on the History Channel last April 14th showing Volvos history, innovation, and several awards. I had it DVR'd, but my DVR's HD took a dump on me, and I lost the episode. I wish I could find it now...

[MetallicAHammett]

i love all volvo cars, especially 850... and S80 V8... fast and safety

[monkeyboy866]

Nahhh... the last great last volvos were the 700/900 series.

[Shovelhd80]

I agree somewhat, I own a '97 V90 (960 wagon) but I am a fan of the looks and performance of the current V50 T5 AWD...

[skrusuki]

nice.. I loved the old footage

[shellshock940T]

Sweet! I wish volvo would upload some old footage of their cars. It's fun to watch!
