I'm just back from a trip to New Zealand (I live in the U.S). The Kiwi's (New Zealanders) were set to receive the first of this year's allocation of 24 C30's as I was leaving on May 3rd. A week before that a Wellington dealer had an ad in that city's newspaper for delivery "Under $40K," which translates into $30K U.S$ at the current exchange rate. But that price had the inevitable * above it. I read about the 24 unit allocation in the Auckland Sunday edition of that city's newspaper, in the Auto section. The article indicated that only the top-of-the-line model would be supplied, including the T5 engine and Tiptronic transmission. It was obviously prepared from a Volvo of New Zealand press release. The "official" price was close to $46K NZ, which would work out to about #34,5K U.S.$. It seemed to me that Volvo was playing to the "just gotta have it" market for this year. There's plenty of prosperity in New Zealand right now, so the strategy will probably work. I don't really know what this means for the U.S. Just thought some of you might be interested.

Replying to: volvomax (Jan 08, 2007 8:52 am) where did you get those times? the last gti car and driver tested was a four door and it hit in 6.2, lofty yes, but 7.2 sec? There is no way a gti is slower than a 4 door si. I suspect that the c30 and gti will have very similar 0-60 times. But in no way will one be 'smoking'the other. |

any word on this? i doubt that out of all the cars it will compete against, that it will be the most frugal in this dept.

Replying to: eldaino (May 07, 2007 12:25 pm) My guess is mileage similar to the S40 T5 which is 21/30 May be 1 or 2 mpg better in the city because of its lighter weight.
