Eh, the C30 still reminds me of a Gremlin or a Pacer to me from the back.

I love the way Volvo's look, I think they are geared to professional adults that have children but I look forward to owning one when I start a family...
Well if Florida lets me. ;]
So you won't be one of these guys that goes out and buys a XC90?

I s'pose that's where you and I differ.
I think they are chunky, boxy, and yawn inducing. They are mommy-mobiles through and through. And talk about overpriced.. sheesh.
Before you play the s60r card, I've driven one. I hated every second of it. The computer controlled suspension needed to be reflashed by the dealer every 40 seconds because it malfunctioned all the time. The clutch was an inspired work of evil, and it still handled like a boring volvo. Forget the sticker price.. For the same amount of money, at the time you could buy a FAR FAR FAR superior G35 6 speed in coupe or sedan form.

Sorry Josh.. Can't hear you.. Can you open your bottle of geritol a little quieter 
Hey now, I'm not that old. Geez. I just know my cars.
hehe...I had to bust on you.
And this is out of the mouth of a Subaru Forester driver...

big difference.. my forester was cheap, and I wasn't buying it to be "sporty"
I know...I just like to give you a hard time when I can.

No I kind of agree with you but I just see who Volvo is marketing.... I've never been in a S60R I almost bought a used S40 in place of my new Mazda3 and then I almost got a C30 when they came out.
Who are they marketing their vehicles too? A group you and I belong too?

Yeah... lol.
Volvos haven't been boxy and ugly for quite a few years. Their newer designs about as far away from boxy as you can get. I can definitely see the C30 being a love it or hate it design, though. personally, I love it. If they'd had a true performance option (that didn't get slammed for wishy-washy handing with numb steering) I would have been all over it instead of my Mazda3.
