    Has anyone checked one of these out yet? I just got one to customize for Nalley Volvo. It seems pretty cool from what I've seen so far. A bit of a pain to work with though, the friggin radio is fiber-optic.

    You can see it has a little front mount!

    I actually love the way this looks. Since they did away with Volvos "R" division/section, whatever, I am not holding my breath for a "hot" version though...

    I really like the looks of this car. I think I might get dressed up and head to the local volvo dealership and act interested in one so I can test drive one.

    I like the looks of this car. Not specifically with that wheel combo, but some of the other pics I've seen makes it look very nice. I'd
    rock it. There was probably somewhere on the sticker that says it was upgraded to an Auto as well.

    I like it but the front end looks a lot like a Scion TC.

    That rear window definitely gives you a lot of visibility.

    "It's no sports car
    Based on Ford's C1 platform, the C30 shares its underpinnings with the S40, V50 and the second-generation (European) Focus. The MacPherson-strut front and multilink rear suspension is also a tried and trusted formula. The tune is more sporting than the S40 — Volvo spotters will notice the firmer ride quality — but the difference can be overstated. This is still no sports car."


    Damn. still l look snice though. makes you wonder how much more HP you can get out of it if any.

    That dash is, quite possibly, the ugliest dash I have ever seen. Maybe its just the missing center console that is putting me off.

    I just finished the custom system I mentioned in the OP. Just thought I would share some pics of how it turned out. It's going in the showroom at the Volvo dealership in Union City tomorrow.

    Thats the volvo dealership my parents went to to buy my mom's C70. I just went and checked out a C30 earlier this week but didnt get to test drive one due to nasty weather. The car is small in all aspects, I wasnt very impressed with the room in the hatch, at least compared to my wagon. I'm going to test drive one over christmas break for sure.

    I got to test drive one. I was ok I still don't like volvo clutches but hey you can't have everything right? The "brown" on the car is carbon fiber. (At least on the one that I test drove). The sales rep that I talked to said that there will be an AWD version but not yet. Overall a nice smooth powerband. I'd hit it

    I just saw the same setup, same speakers and amp at my friend's dealer yesterday. I doubt this same car made it to Marietta from Union City, or did it? The car did have the bling factor for shoes too but you can't tell by your pics. It was white with an AT also.

    So all you guys did was add a sound system? I thought there would be a body kit and wheels too.
