Burn-E Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 Leaked? maybe if this was 3 weeks ago. By my calendar today is 11/26 when they said they were going to present the next Polestar. Happy to see Volvo still sees potential in a high performance wagon for Stateside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Che'_Moderator Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 Actually looks a little dated to me. Just IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt b Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 Will these have balls and manual transmissions or just pretty paint jobs and big wheels ? All show, no go ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ihatespeedbumps Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 No manual trans of course, and that god forsaken 6 cylinder. Something like 350... nothing too exciting there either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt b Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 Meh, I'll wait until Volvos have a spine again. Autotragic kills it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burn-E Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 Will these have balls and manual transmissions or just pretty paint jobs and big wheels ? All show, no go ? It has flappy paddles...my guess is Jeremy Clarkson will be delivering a review similar to his take on the Maserati Quattroporte: To begin with, it was available only with a hopeless flappy paddle ’box that just didn’t work. So now they’ve fitted an auto. And that doesn’t work either. Not since the Escort XR3i Cabrio have I driven anything that feels so... flobbery. Sure, you would put up with small problems to have a car that looked like this, in the same way you’d put up with some small problems if Angelina Jolie decided one day that she’d had enough of Brad and fancied being married to you. But if one day you came home and found her doing something mad, like cleaning the cooker with her tampons, you’d leave. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CjT7j5fDG8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt b Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 Look at episode 2 of Season 20 of Top Gear. The Renault Clio is an amazing car with great features but he says it: the flappy pedals kill it for him. A manual gearbox and 3 pedals is where it's at.

Big Will Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 Couldn't agree more. It's why I moved to Europe. Just kidding of course...partly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt1122 Posted November 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 Leaked? maybe if this was 3 weeks ago. Someone posted them on the web about 12 hours before the press release. I forgot to repost them here at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brick-a-brac Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 The C30 was the last car Volvo cars offered with a manual box. When I asked VCNA people about the return of a manual, they all said it was unlikely for North America; however, they said the same thing when I asked them about bringing back a non-XC wagon four years ago ...
