Next Twilight flick to feature vehicle reminiscent of used Volvo XC70s in New Jersey

Twilight: New Moon is set to open on November 20, and the second installment of the series will be the second time that a car resembling used Volvos in New Jersey will be on display.

This time, the XC60 crossover will be driven by vampire Edward Cullen, and while teens who are on the cusp of the PG-13 rating may be keeping a close eye on Richard Pattinson, parental companions may be looking at the midrange SUV instead, according to MediaPost.com

“It was a missed opportunity in the first film because [a C30] had actually four minutes in the film, which is unheard of in product placement,” Linda Gangeri, Volvo‘s national advertising manager, told the website. “It did really well without us doing anything, so with the second film we worked with the studio to develop a global program.”

With more time on screen, parents could consider the XC60, but they could also consider roomier used Volvo XC70s in New Jersey as well.

The 2004 model of the crossover can be cheaper than a new Honda Civic, and comes with standard all-wheel drive that allows it to “[cruise] with seeming effortless,” according to Cars.com
