I was just at the mall, and saw this car on display. Two door hatch, with a 5 cylinder 2.5 liter turbo engine. Looks like another contender in the US hatch market. Only down side is front wheel drive. http://www.volvocars.us/models/c30/Specifications.htm __________________

Personally I think the Mercedes C230 hatch looks sweet hooked up. __________________ 4 MORE YEARS BABY!!! | | | | | 11-17-2007, 07:45 PM | #3 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2007 Location: nj Posts: 316 |

yeah, but the Volvo that L84THSKY mentioned comes with 227 hp! Thats not bad at all. As for styling though, I think the Mercedes is the only hatch that comes close to the Ti. __________________ 4 MORE YEARS BABY!!! | | | | | 11-17-2007, 08:06 PM | #5 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: maritimes Posts: 1,433 |
thats right jeff.. although for a supercharged motor, theyre not THAT impressive... none the less, still fun cars.
ive thought about tossing the old Ti and getting into one of those c230 benz' .. i think their deadly hot.
oh and jess, the c230 isn't the only one, have we forgotten about mr.corrado??? mmm those are sex too. __________________ 11/97 Base  328Ti

It's like the 318ti went Back to the Future and met up with Mr DeLorean  They're even harder to find than a Ti      http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f1.../NiceBlue2.jpg http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f1...o/NiceBlue.jpg __________________ 4 MORE YEARS BABY!!! | | | | | 11-18-2007, 02:07 PM | #7 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Saint Paul, MN Posts: 3,244 |
Not sure how I feel about the jumbotron rear tail lights on this little hatch. It's distinctive for sure and I liked the w50 interior so this one is probably similar. __________________

I always loved the P1800es and the C30 has a similar retro rear. Not bad looking but a bit large as far as hatchback's go IMO. | | | | | 11-19-2007, 05:01 PM | #9 | | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2007 Location: Eugene Oregon Posts: 6,182 |
