Volvo Cars of North America, LLC (VCNA) and LEGOLAND® California are joining forces to promote driving safety and family values. As part of the recently announced partnership agreement between the subsidiaries of the two Scandinavian icons, a replica of Volvo's award-winning SUV, the Volvo XC90, was constructed of LEGO's famous modeling bricks. The Volvo XC90 made of LEGO bricks was unveiled today at the New York Auto Show.
How many LEGO bricks does it take to build a full-size SUV? The astute calculator with the correct answer will be announced at the vehicle dedication ceremony at LEGOLAND® California. The event is scheduled for May 1, 2004, at the family entertainment theme park, located in Carlsbad, California, just north of San Diego.
The Volvo XC90 made of LEGO bricks was built by LEGO Master Model Builders, members of an elite team of talented artists who design, create and maintain the thousands of LEGO brick models at LEGOLAND® California. Constructed at the U.S. headquarters for LEGO Systems, Inc. in Enfield, Conn., the Master Builders began production of the Volvo XC90 in January 2004. Noted as one of the top-three most gratifying projects of its kind for the Master Builders, the intricate stages of assembly were captured with time-lapse photography.

@Tranquil:
At least repairing/putting back together the car would be cheap, if rather time consuming..... If you could find where all the damn bricks had gone!
