Now its the turn of video of the 2012 Volvo V40 to leak out After many leaks of photos of the new 2012 Volvo V40, this afternoon we get the first new V40 video too. We’ve already run one story on the new Volvo V40 today, with a fairly comprehensive set of photos of Volvo’s new baby estate car leaking out before its launch at Geneva in just a few days. Now we get the new V40 on video after what appears to be Volvo’s launch promo for the V40 turned up on YouTube.

USED CAR MARKET BOUNCED BACK IN JANUARY

BCA’S LATEST Pulse report shows that average values rose in January following the disruption caused by the Arctic conditions and shorter trading period in December.

Vehicles from both the fleet & lease and part-exchange sectors recorded notable value improvements and part-exchange values reached record levels.
