I think its pretty smart too!

Jay Payne · May 4, 2009

Looks mint imo

Lewis_S · May 4, 2009

the way i would explain it is... its like one of those women who look realy nice from behind but when u see the face... not so good lol

jesus · May 4, 2009

Certainly looks the part!

Hutchie · May 4, 2009

i think they look dead smart

not sure on the sound of a t-5 exhaust note not right, used to 4 pots

that vid linked me to this and thought it was worth sharing

Sexy i think, Id debadge the front and back and you would have yourself a nice motor imo.

Ad · May 4, 2009

No - like that a lot.

I was thinking the opposite! I love the front, but not so much the back.

Is nice though.

Limca · May 4, 2009

only the wheels make it look good

jujuju · May 4, 2009

liked these since they came out, but being a volvo, I always kept quiet lol.

That one's gorgeous too, but not sure about the blue, would prefer it in dark grey

Surely by "from behind" you mean from the front.

Really?

I think the opposite, the front looks better. Not keen on the rear of it.

Alexander · May 4, 2009

From the front - lovely.

From the back - GTFO!

Paul. · May 4, 2009

I love these cars tbh n that one is mint

LOL.. exactly how I felt.. I like 'em!

VeinAST · May 4, 2009

Looks great.

StevenMc29 · May 5, 2009

Seen one in white. Much nicer imo

trile · May 5, 2009

needs something to 'fill out' the masive rear screen... but can't think of anything but stickers :rasp:

ukaskew · May 5, 2009

Is this the model Volvo are rumoured to be bringing to Touring Cars?

Michael172 · May 5, 2009

Its funny ive always thought they looked s**t, but the new volvos....well theres something about them i like.

cat171 · May 5, 2009

I don't like it.

r_dizzel* · May 5, 2009

front looks good, but the back is messd up

Merk · May 5, 2009

I love them.

Few round where I live in white, i'd have one anyday.

Phill1978 · May 5, 2009

allegedly there will be a C30-R with the FRS engine and the AWD platform, albeit a conservative version compared to the FRS

MikeyK18 · May 5, 2009

I hate volvo's with a passion, but i like them.

Looks well smart.

Plus they have the same 2.5T engine the Focus ST has so it'll be quick enough.

Phill1978 · May 5, 2009

allegedly there will be a C30-R with the FRS engine and the AWD platform, albeit a conservative version compared to the FRS

i do love the sound, interior/exterior quality (touches like laminated glass for quiet ride, security and safety) 10 speaker Dynaudio system, geartronic option for shitty work commute, mint 'chairs' i.e the most comfortable car seats that exist, BLIS system.

im stuck between something like this or the new meg 250, even though in the corners the 250 will probably eat the C30 alive and look a lot more sporty aswell.

the new 2009 has update interior, wish there was a LSD option and slightly more hardcore suspension technology.

few more shots

two tone option.. titaium with java brown..

god i must be getting sensible in my old age

volvokid · May 5, 2009

No way I love them thats my next car fingures x they will make a real R model

Phill1978 · May 5, 2009

think they need some handlin g improvements even in t5 guise tbh.. by the looks of things rear sway bar, coilovers are the way to go

c__w · May 5, 2009

I'm another "front looks best, rear not so much" opinion. The current S40 looks very similar at the front too - there are hints of R34 Skyline look in there IMO!!

Jat_172cup · May 5, 2009

Nope, saw a miiint one in white the other day, with black alloys and red calipers. Looked well smart

the1 · May 5, 2009

I tike the front as it looks mean. However, the back on the other looks totally out of place with the front end of the car tbh.

H182 · May 5, 2009

Agree with most here, nice from the front but not the back.

Phill1978 · May 5, 2009

i was thinking the back is a bit odd but by no means the worst rear end its what makes it stand out.. then i thought actually for once the dog would get a great view !

smitchell1 · May 5, 2009

Same engine as the Focus St!!!! 2.5T

Weeman · May 5, 2009

Volvos are the future, My deisel 5 cylinder sounds fecking awesome, and it has uber amounts of torque, Boring as fcuk mind you, but for the job its suppose to do its ace.

kyle_sxi · May 5, 2009

looks quite good tbh

Reyes · May 5, 2009

want one in white

Weeman · May 5, 2009

They have the same interior as the s40 I have, good planning from volvo, these must save a fecking shed load of moulds and parts etc.

daydotz · May 5, 2009

love it
