They may not have a seat at the Oscars, but Volvos are some of the biggest stars in Hollywood. The decidedly undivalike carmaker has been featured on screens big and small for decades. 

In this entry of the Twilight saga, vampire Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) drives a very un-vampish 2011 Volvo S60 R-Design. 

The R-Design, with its vampire-unfriendly silver side mirrors, was first introduced in 2004.

Volvo has even infiltrated animation. In the hit TV show The Simpsons, Principal Skinner is seen driving what looks to be a brown 1979 Volvo 244. 

According to Volvo, nearly 2.8 million 240s were sold while the vehicle was in production from 1974 to 1993. 

Can you guess how many times the 1986 Volvo 240 has been appeared in films?
