Volvo ads go from safety to performance, advocates cry foul


Volvo ads go from safety to performance, advocates cry foul

Volvo S40

We've all seen it. The Volvo ad that shows a video game version of its new S40 sedan racing on a track, flying over a ridge and then rolling over ten or eleven times is quite a sales tool. It made such an impact safety advocates are decrying their former favorite car company for showcasing irresponsible driving. They say it also underlies a growing trend of higher performance vehicles flooding the market teamed with more aggressive driving. Unfortunately as highway deaths are increasing year to year, they make a good point. But as always the final responsibility falls on the drivers not the carmakers or advertisers.
