True. But wouldn't waiting for their car to be built and shipped across the ocean be a concern?
 
How long is the wait anyways? I would guess anywhere from 4-6 weeks, but that's just a wild guess from me.

My guess is more like 8 weeks.

If people really want it,they will wait.
BMW has this down to a science.
What Volvo needs to make sure of is that the wait isn't too long.
The C70 had a 6 month wait at one point.

no cruise? by eldaino

wow. i figured that it would at least be standard...even the scion guys griped about their lack of cruise on their sub 15k rides...now imagine having to add it for a 22k+ car!
 
I'm sure that most c30's wont be manuals...if they are trying to market it as a commuter car, standard cruise makes sense.

How exactly?
A commuter car is one that sits in traffic in the AM and PM.
Not exactly cruise control friendly conditions.

my def of commute is different. My commuter car drives 30 miles of highway with hardly any traffic. I like cruise.

If I were buying one, I'd custom build it. That'd be true with most any car. Why? Because I've had enough of either getting the wrong color, or buying a car with options (and on a European car that's big bucks) that I don't want.
 
I would buy red (I like it and I have a problem paying extra for other typical colors), level 1 with the upgraded stereo and the black/red interior. I'd wait for the European delivery and get my 8% off. The manual would be fun and if you coast at times you will get really good mileage over an auto. But I don't live in an area where it's bumper-to-bumper often.
 
I use cruise like twice a year, so I could do without it.

I'm middle aged male driver. We have a van for big hauling and people moving, so I'm looking for a smaller, more efficient car with some personality.
 
The body design reminds me of a cross between the Volvo P1800 and Civic from around 1990 with the curent Volvo front end. Wonder if the hatch is framed (hopefully so that it will seal).
 
I drive 25-30,000 miles per year, so economy is important. Because of the initial cost is high, mileage is nothing special, and servicing is expensive I'll probably never buy one.
 
Until we get a decent local dealer I won't be buying any Volvos. The only halfway convenient dealer is my current Mazda dealer that I've given up on. They are a GM dealer and us "foreigners" are treated worse than the GM customers (which isn't very good).
 
I'd pay to add cruise as most of my miles are rural.
