SERIOUSLY UN-COOL

SUB-ZERO

Let me know what you think. (And add any non Alfa cars you secretly desire as well.)

Quite Cool actually. Nicest Volvo for a long tome, OK I know that's not the best accolade for it, but they are a nice design and a useful sort of size too.

Looks just like another euro-clone ... thought it was an audi at first ... until I saw the badge of the devil on the front of the car ...

must admit though it does look quite nice

Re: I really shouldn't..but i love this car!!! Sorry.

it's a dead cool car.

why? because its style is unique; it's no Euro-clone, but a refreshing reminder that not all design language has to be German, French or Italian. It's not trying too hard, or copying anyone else, or pretending to be a BMW or Audi (or an Audi pretending to be a BMW, or a BMW pretending to be an Audi). Plus, it has some essential qualities; it's safe, has awesome seats, a cool yet logical interior, a belter of a sound system, a light and airy cabin, and the essential underpinnings of the Focus (albeit diluted a bit).

It's a car that's at complete ease in its odd-ball skin, yet has much to offer from an ownership perspective. I think that in the right colour and spec, they're dead cool.

I really like the C30, and I hope each and every one finds a home that will love it to bits.

I love animals...they're delicious

Sorry to disagree (I could be wrong!!!) ... but is it just me that can see the similarity with the Q7 ...

Re: I really shouldn't..but i love this car!!! Sorry.

I'd like to point out that the pic in the link, isn't the most flattering (white with a bronze body kit...hmmm).

Check it out on Volvo.co.uk. Spec it in silver, with the 'petal' type 17" wheels and black leather, and you have a sweet car on your hands.

Honest

Oh, and I too love the C70 CC, or whatever it is called.

I presume that must be the "Q7 Bodykit option" lol!!!

Been on the volvo website (the first time ever!!!) and it is quite unique ... I take my euro-clone comment back!!! ...

I quite like it. Isn't it The same as Ford Focus underneath? It looks better though.
