I’ve never considered driving a Volvo; it’s a soccer mom/old omie kind of car, isn’t it? Oh, and for sparkly vampire folk.

The only thing I’ve ever known about Volvo, is that it is ultra-safe and a little boring-looking. Not the new Volvo V40! I mean it is still extremely safe – not only for those inside the vehicle; it features the world’s first Pedestrian Airbag. But it is sexy as hell, and it is contagious. Since I’ve received the keys to an ice white V40 to test drive for a week, I’ve walked taller, dressed better (okay, I’m still wearing jeans, but with heels and tinted lip balm!), and felt super-confident.

So this is just a little teaser. I’ll tell you more about this gorgeous, modern car a little later. You can watch this clip about the exterior design in the meantime.
