The side looks a bit bland compared to the interesting front and rear ends. Although the rear screen looks weird but I'd really appreciate a car like that; makes reversing so much easier, unlike modern cars where you can practically see nothing at the back.
be 1st to comments..
this baby.. is a pcs of good art work….
IMO,weird and fugly rear *sry volvo fans*
it looks quite weird.
its certainly a lot bigger than most other 3door hatches, isnt it?
damn nice la dis car…ok wut….btw…waitla for replacement 147…mbe better than dis…
wow..its look like satria neo….erm i mean the spoiler
Feminin's artwork dude
Side veiw is ok but the butt needs rework
Yeah.. so feminin… not macholah…
The car looked huge, I think as big as Waja
the weird thing is, the car is so obviously a hot hatch, but volvo is calling it a sports coupe?
I dont know how long Volvo would keep that headlight design. The rear is not so appealing to me, plus it does look wired.
..look weird (typo).
So far all of the reports on the C30 praised its handling and ride, which is great for Volvo's baby car.
Can't wait to testdrive it when it gets here…
too bad there's no interior pics… wonder if they still adopt the flat center console with the nice curves…
the rear needs a little getting used to but on a whole, this is one clean looking design. volvo used to be boxes on wheels but nowadays they are looking sexy and good. if only i could afford one… sigh
18" wheels, very nice when you have to change em tires..
Stunning good looks. For weird commentors, i supposed Neo looked 'good' to you guys right?
nice volvo, though I think its getting slightly lame using the same design for the front lights and the buldging sides. I think the same design is 4/5 years now?
Yea man…I think the Volvo look is old already. Time to get away from the current design language.
The C30 uses the S40/V50 platform (which is also the Focus's) but chassis is tuned further still and this results in an entertaining chassis, more so than the donor cars.
The cabin features individual seats at the rear and plenty of room for six-footers, something uncommon for modern hatchbacks.
nice car…
The worst drivers in the world have yet another POS joke of a vehicle to express their crappy driving skills in.
The "chopped-@$$" design takes a little getting used to. But proportions-wise, I think this car will handle very well. But not as hot as other hot hatches. The front's pretty, the rear… lemme think…
me a volvo fan… but the rear too volvolution la and weird
the front nose reminds me of the elephant walrus nose man ! ! ! !
full of fat and moss in the front ….and what's with that booth space ???
there is an additional space to utilize instead of sucking it in like that !! ! !
