I watched the review Fifth Gear did a few days ago and it's quite a cool wagon. A bit off topic but Paul, do know when or if they will ever bring in XC70 here?

I admit that I hated volvo's boxy designs before, but the C30 made me fell in love with it. But the headlamp makes it look a bit..Japanese, doesn't it? The rest of the car is superb - reminds me of the stools at Ikea. I dunno why =P Never have I read intelligent comments on Paultan.org more than this post.

I found Volvo parts to be overpriced than other marques. But i still dig for Volvo's interior design. It looks clean and Scandinavian.
