VOLVO FTW!!! First car was a '92 240GL. That thing saved my life. I turned an already boxy volvo into an even MORE boxy volvo by sliding into a ditch and doing two flips with a half twist. I used to have pictures, but they were lost on an old volvo forum.

Anyway, about the C30, the reviews that I read didn't not say many nice things about this car. I'll look for the article later tonight and see if I can find it, then I'll edit this.

Ford Focus in a Volvo suit... Not a bad chassis to start with I guess. Pretty cool and nice that they are going to make it. Much better than those horrid Volvo coupes years back with the flip up lights, though I don't think we got them here.

It will be cool to see what happens with this car - I rode in a friend's '06 S40 and was really impressed..

And yes - it's FWD. Wouldn't be surprised if it comes in AWD at some point.
