Twilight was one of the most hotly anticipated movies of 2008. Girls specially were waiting with bated breath for the movie mostly because of the love story and of course, because of Edward Cullen, the suave, handsome vampire who falls for the human girl in the story.

Everything about Twilight screams chick flick, and well, that’s actually true. If there is though one thing for guys to look forward to in this movie (because let’s face it, they will probably have to accompany their girlfriends to this one) it’s Edward’s car.

In the movie, Edward drives a Volvo C30, a stunner of a car. It’s a small hatchback with three doors and can seat four people. The front is reminiscent of recent Volvos, like the S40 and the S60, and that’s not exactly a bad thing, as the new Volvos look really good. Where it shines though is out back, with its glass hatch and sexy tail lamps.

Some may say that the C30, because of its diminutive size and cutesy profile is better suited for a girl, but because of its excellent driving dynamics, no guy can complain.

Edward may be a hit for the girls, but for the guys, it is his car that is the hit.

As a little child, one often wonders how it would be like if he were to encounter a lively car and actually drive by with him with even just one ride home. Well, this won’t be much of a wonder for Lindsey Lohan in her movie about Herbie; her very much lively car; lively in a sense that it is alive and kicking! Well, one should not be that terrified. It is not one of Stephen King’s cars in his Maximum Overdrive, where the cars go nuts and starts their revolution against their human masters.

Herbie is not an evil car that could drive everyone mad. Although it should be admitted that it is madness to see an actual car, driving on its own, minding its own business while its driver sits in the driver’s seat looking outside the window seemingly searching for some beautiful scenery as though she were seated at the passenger’s seat. No one really knows how Herbie got his life or how he managed to lived such a long life that he still came to see Lohan’s time. But though it is a mystery, it still does not rob the movie of its magnificent wonders that surrounds the car and his driver; in fact, it even gives the film a sting.
