Edward's Volvo Mystery.....

Oh the controversy over a car.



A recent set showed photos of Edward's volvo - which appeared to be dark, not silver.... twihard riots began (much like Kstew's Eclipse wig, or Rachelle's replacement, and even rumoured Taylor's recasting for new moon) luckily answers were found so now we can all sleep well knowing it will all be ok.....

Twilight Lexicon got to the bottom of the curious "volvo" question....

Lexicon staff:
“There are pictures of Robert Pattinson standing in front of a Black Volvo. Is that Edward’s car or is it a background vehicle? If it is Edward’s car, will it be recolored in post production? For most fans, making Edward’s Volvo anything but silver is kind of like deciding that the Batmobile is purple ”

Summit Answer:
“Edward is driving the exact same car he drove in NEW MOON.”
...
EDITED: 17 emails later…this is the car(the S60R described by Stephenie is no longer made, that’s why the car in Twilight was differnt too) http://www.volvocars.com/us/models/xc60/Pages/BuildYourxc60.aspx and the color chart would have the color at either “Black Sapphire Metallic” or “Saville Grey Metallic” both of which seem to read “black”on screen. As we just said on Twitter we now feel like we’ve been run over by the Volvo…it seemed like such a simple question at the time…*headddesk*!



Electric Silver Metallic may have beena better choice - but hey - I can look past the colour of the car and right into Edwards eyes ;) tee hee

Oh right... like they have to get a new car for each movie? Come on now... you think with American Graffiti they had to only go with current cars??? They could've bought a used S60R easily! It was a cop out to use the wrong car i Twilight and to use a sparkly black car will be just as bad.

On the other hand... based on the VMA clip... maybe this is just the "dream" car. At least we can all hope!
