#1 of 103 Its official: Volvo C30-What do you think? by carson2 Jan 03, 2006 (2:53 pm)
http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2005/12/volvo-c30-concept.html   This is Volvo's contendor to the BMW 1 Series, Mercedes SportsCoupe and Audi A3 -very popular category in Europe. Rekmove the fancy-kich- brown bumpers and this is the actual production car. Like its exterior design. Good that the left the S40 inerior. Whats ur opinion. can Ford group hit the Germans??

Here's the problem: Where will it be price wise? The S40 is already pretty inexpensive starting at $23,700ish, how far lower can they go?   Does anybody remember the BMW 318ti of the 90's? Or maybe more recently, the C-Class SportCoupe?   The A3 seems to be doing fine though... Replies to this message: carson2 (Jan 03, 2006 7:15 pm) jchan2 (Jan 03, 2006 7:20 pm)

Replying to: jchan2 (Jan 03, 2006 3:59 pm) I imagine it will cost about 10% cheaper than the S40 versions. But Volvo's intention isnt to target a price category, but an age category. People, whom otherwise wouldnt consider a Volvo -young, unmarried, students etc. I beleive it is a model that Volvo needed a long time ago, but better late than never. . The BMW Compact of the 90's was a bad example, as it was a "bastard" bimmer, using exterior parts and engines from the E36, but suspension and interior from the E30 Series... realy bad car. I have driven both the Volvo S40 and the new Ford Focus which are the base for the C30. If the C30 has the handling of the Focus, Audi A3 is going to have a problem Replies to this message: jchan2 (Jan 03, 2006 7:20 pm)

Replying to: carson2 (Jan 03, 2006 7:15 pm) So this will be a $20,000 Volvo?   Not bad.

Replying to: carson2 (Jan 03, 2006 2:53 pm) One-up the others and offer AWD with the T5 drivetrain and a stick and it'll sell like hotcakes...
#7 of 103 C30 Price by donthegreek Jan 29, 2006 (7:49 pm)
In my opinion...there's no way this will sell for low $20's....I'd guess it'll be in the high 20's for a base version, and low to mid 30's loaded up like the A3. Hope it is cheaper...but its a volvo....ain't gonna happen.
#8 of 103 C30 Price by themoon77 Jan 30, 2006 (10:28 am)
According to my opinion of the styling, this is the ultimate hatch. However, it HAS to stay at or below $25,000 for me to consider it.   Edge Replies to this message: kenw3 (Apr 21, 2006 5:11 am)
#9 of 103 C30 Price by donthegreek Jan 30, 2006 (7:34 pm)
