New Volvo C30

Anyone seen it at the autoshow?

Looking at the US website it should start around $21K 2.5L Turbo 6 speed manual, even though FWD, it looks like a very nice car for the price.

Man if that was RWD it’d be great! Looks like a sporty little hatch.

Yeah, I didn’t say it was perfect, but I think they will be pretty competitive.

there was a thread a month or two back with the photos and a link to the top gear or whatever it was in the UK…im crossing my fingers for a c30R…awd turbo spd 300hp/300tq like the s60R and V70R

X, you forgot to mention that a 12 yr. old kid was able to find the hood release that neither you or I could find. Fuckin Kids…

A Chassis Engineer was test driving one last month here in Phoenix. I talked to him at a stop light. He had the NA FWD version. Car looked cool. He told me that he was going to have the turbo version the next night, but I didn’t see him again.

I told him that I wished ford would bring over the turbo AWD focus and he said everybody else wishes that too.

Thanks, but that was WAY old, 2005. I have been reading up on it more on other forums, and seems like a pretty cool car.

X…

yeah it really does, im really leaning toward picking up an S60R when i graduate in three semesters, but if this thing comes out in AWD ill most def. pick this up instead, becasue im a whore for hatches

awd would have made this car sex at that price…

i like it, my buddy is looking at getting one, i think it looks sharp :tup:

I would seriously consider it but I hope its coming out sooner than later.

i love it. i wish that snow camo paint came production. that’s fucking hot. reminds me of the DC shoes subaru.

EDIT: wtf tire tread?
