Seen at SIA: Volvo C30

Among the many hot bodies here at SIA, one of the hottest I’ve seen is the Volvo C30. The Swedish Mini killer showed up at Sunday’s fashion show and I was immediately impressed with its compact form and muscular appearance. It’s a very pretty car in person, especially in the silver and white camo.
It sounds, however, as though it may not be available with all wheel drive. Billed in this context as a car with roots in snow sports, how will it compete with Audi’s entry-level quattros, the A3 S-Line and A4 and with Subaru’s WRX lines?
No AWD??? Next….
And snow camo would not be my finish of choice for a absentmindedness of a resort parking lot. The last thing I’d want to do is have my car blend in with the snow, waiting for someone’s Hummer to clip it. :)
Pretty (although it looks too much like the homely Toyota Matrix for my taste), but no AWD? What market are they aiming for? For people driving in snow a lot (especially up in a lot of snow), AWD is just as essential as a seat belt.
Two doors is ridiculous. Some of us have kids, you should know that, Volvo.
Uhm, that’s what the wagons are for …
