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...

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. Yea man…I think the Volvo look is old already.

Can't wait to testdrive it when it gets here... So far all of the reports on the C30 praised its handling and ride, which is great for Volvo's baby car.

The rear is not so appealing to me, plus it does look wired. I dont know how long Volvo would keep that headlight design. The rear is not so appealing to me, plus it does look wired.

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.
