Replying to: volvomax (Jan 08, 2007 2:10 pm) i know you have a bias against honda, vmax, and that's fine. But I still feel the need to correct you. The Accord Coupe V6 hits 60 in 5.9 secs, the same as a Boxster. And it has skidpad grip on par with a TT. Will it go around a track as good as the others? Of course not. But I use a backseat far more often than I go to a track. These are the kinds of questions buyers face, not whether or not the volvo comes standard with headlight washers. (by the way, at that time, I picked the 350z.)

Replying to: volvomax (Jan 08, 2007 3:53 pm) http://www.caranddriver.com/roadtests/7011/honda-accord-coupe-ex-v-6.html (note that this is before its slight bump in power) here it is in sedan form with the power bump: http://www.caranddriver.com/comparisons/10519/2006-honda-accord-ex-v-6.html Unfortunately, I find the other sites too difficult to search on. I can at least tell you that MotorTrend got the identical times in their automatic V6 that C&D did, so I'd assume they would get the same in the manual. But, anyway, we're kind of off topic (although i'm not sure anymore). My point still boils down to ... c30=$23k-$28k=yes. c30=$25k-$30k=no. |

i'm wondering if the possibility of the T5 AWD version of the C30 will come into being... *sigh*... we'll have to wait and see... now, the 1-series will be coming to market... interesting times are ahead of us...

Replying to: kyfdx (Jan 23, 2007 9:26 am) carsdirect gives me a price of $100 over invoice.

Replying to: qbrozen (Jan 23, 2007 10:21 am) I think invoice pricing is a pretty big discount?

Replying to: kyfdx (Jan 23, 2007 10:31 am) My Honda was about $1k under invoice and my wife's Pac was something like $6k under ... so I guess its all about perspective.

Replying to: kyfdx (Jan 23, 2007 9:26 am) Volvo overproduced the S40, and it hasn't been a huge success with the younger crowd it was aimed at. The C30 should do much better from a demographic standpoint. However, americans won't pay real money for hatchback cars, so pricing is critical. The BMW 318 ti and the Mercedes Compact failed because they were overpriced and underdone. |
