DonutsDemise Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 I got into one of these at the Volvo showroom in Stockholm in July. It was really nice but I hate that there are no performance upgrades <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonutsDemise Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 i guess it makes it more fun to upgrade though.while I was checking out the cars my brother was standing there waiting to leave this one was a 6 speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorontoR Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 i said it before...and i'll say it again....volvo has a lot of catching up to do (to audi, bmw etc) if its going to stay in the game. "R design".... nice...so they add a few cosmetics in, but the performance is what is lacking.........btw...the C30 is probably the only good looking 'new' model....the rest are just hidious (have you seen the new V70s!!!???)

Lets see how many Volvo owners actually care about performance...I'll be nice and say 10%. Do you really think it would be smart for a company to make a product that only 10% of its buyers are going to be interested in?Nice C30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FistFull Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 I don't understand the point of labling something the R if there aren't any power/performance changes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JehovArob Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 Lets see how many Volvo owners actually care about performance...I'll be nice and say 10%. Do you really think it would be smart for a company to make a product that only 10% of its buyers are going to be interested in?Yeah. But it's the prestige and possibility that they do it for.I mean, how many Corvettes or Vipers are actually bought? They only make/sell those cars so there's this brand recognition and a dream of actually owning a car like that when you buy that Chevy Crapalier or Dodge Caliber...Although, I guess when you have, say, an S80, and you have to choose between the T6 and the V8, it's not quite the same as it's the same body just with a different engine (and other trim/cosmetics/etc.).I dunno. Let's just hope that they (i.e. Ford) has some good plans for the Volvo line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
