Like 'vulva' means ball-accommodating?

According to wikipedia: "Volvo means "I roll" in Latin, conjugated from "volvere", in relation to ball bearing.The name Volvowas originally registered in May 1911 as a separate company within SKF AB and as a registered trademark with the intention to be used for a special series of ball bearing".

I found ball-bearing more amusing so I ignored the first part of the paragraph.

--- Post Update ---

I was going to suggest Volvo, actually.
They have a very nice and trendy interior, and they stick out a bit more these days. They also don't suffer from an image problem (unless driving a safe car is of concern to you).

I think I'd have to get the 1.6 diesel, which doesn't have much poke.
