C30 in Auto Express

Some things just can't be placed elsewhere. Have you been speeding and got fined? Or spotted a nice new Volvo on the web somewhere? All non-480 messages can be posted in this part of the board.

C30 in Auto Express

Post by Ally » Wed May 10, 2006 12:41 pm

Thought some of you might be interested in this...

Don't know if it's just the 'disguise' but that looks much more boring than what was at the Detroit motor show in January.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see what turns up in Paris this September.

I think the car will look fantastic, but will it drive with the character of a 480 (a true sports car) or an A3/Golf, which is quick and fun but deviod of any characted like the C70's. To be fair, it's gonna be a Volvo which the 480 really wasn't.

Meh it's ok...
I love the back, but the front seriously lets it down. It looks like a van gone wrong :/

Doesn't look bad but it's nowhere near 480.
no car, why drive a car if you can fly SAAB
