Volvo C30 Design Concept?


Well you be the judge. The previous Volvo concepts (SCC and 3CC) were never shown in this color, the reverse light is different, and there is no super sized sunroof. For reference's sake, I've thrown in a picture of the 3CC concept car as well. Regardless of this car being the "real deal" or not I have high hopes that the production version will look sharp. My big question is, what will the sticker be once it arrives on the lot and how many "must have" features will be optional? Cars like this can start out in the low to mid twenties, but can easily jump into the high twenties and beyond. When the price balloons a whole new range of competitors become available and they are very tempting.

Conspiracy theory of the day: I found the blue car picture over at carspyshots.net. The photo was posted by someone who had never posted before, appears to have joined the same day the photo was posted, hasn't posted since then and had only a very vague reference as to where the photo was found. My theory is that the photo is actually part of Volvo's underground marketing campaign. If you go to Volvo's international site you'll see teasers about the C30. I think this photo and the way it was released fits perfectly into that campaign. But it's 2AM and I could just be totally paranoid. You decide.
