Wow, looks good, I like volvos in coupe form, kind of gives them a sporty edge.

I really like it. It has a sporty/hatch look to it. I like that its a two door as well.

It wil be good competition for the Audi A3, Mini, VW GTi, BMW 1 series, and Astra VXR. I hope Volvo will offer AWD with the C30.

Nonsense, this will probably be the make it car for Volvo. Why do I say this, because Volvo is trying to appeal to the youth of America and it sure has hooked me!

Very nice. A tasteful, restrained car (words I've used on no fewer than 14 occasions to describe Volvos) that would look lovely if you removed the slightly OTT body kit on the show car.
But would it pull me away from an A3/Golf GTI/R32?
I'm not sure...

I touldent be bad at all if Volvo would start selling car like that on Focus platform. With more coupe look and some I5 turbo engines S3 or BMW 1 will have serious concurence.
Ford is doing really good with Volvo, they let them do their completly own moddels and still exchange tehnologie when needed.

Its good to see that Volvo (and Saab) are going back to their roots and using clean, modern design.

I h8 the brown lining which covers the wheelarches and the bottoms of the bodykit - truly disgusting. If i bought a production version, I'd straight away give that part a respray...

Not your Grandmas Volvo Wagon......

Very nice car i like where Ford Motor is taking the car....

GM should take notice and direct SAAB in the right direction

Saab will be getting a Delta (Astra, Cobalt, Ion) based 9-2 in the near future.
