    I hear that in Germany they call the C30 - "Snowwhite's coffin".

    ..but you can't argue with the numbers - that one is fast. I suppose it is what girls / lefties / Doctors and Swedes will buy instead of the Focus RS

    I'd buy it.
    I'd probably buy the STI first, but I'd have that too.

    Awful colour is right, it would be mean in metallic black. The RS Focus is too in your face for my liking, this would be more up my alley.

    I'd definately buy one of those. 4wd would be a huge draw over the ford, plus likely worse residuals could mean its not a bad second hand price.

    It's interesting that the Volvo and Ford share a lot mechanically, yet when the Ford was launched, they were all talk about how the revolutionary suspension meant 4WD was unnecessary blah blah.

    On the Volvo, somehow that's not the case?

    Hopefully Volvo will launch this car. 400bhp, AWD, 0-60 in around 4 seconds.

    There's been talk about that car for 3 years. 0-60 in 4s? I'll believe it when I see it :)

    Volvo need a car like this to get credibility with younger people. I dont know any other brand which suffers from such an old man/family man image. A hot C30R would be epic. the next S60R will be something as well. That is rumored to have close to 400bhp.
