What do you think about the upcoming Volvo C30? It is supposed to be available with like 5 different engine options, but I think only 2 will be coming to the USA. The highest power option is the T5 which is a 2.5L, 5 cylinder, turbo, with 220HP and 236 lb*ft torque.

Here is a link to the Volvo C30.

Volvo also sponsored 3 different tuners to display their creations with the C30 at this years SEMA show. There are tons of articles about this so I'm sure you can find them in a search engine, but here is one good link with lots of good pics... SEMA C30

From the front and side it looks alright, but the back is just wrong.

Yeah, I'm not too hot on the looks either. It might be a performer though. I'll have to wait till it comes out and go test drive it. Volvo says they are trying to compete with the GTI, MazdaSPEED 3, and Civic SI with this one.

5 cyl turbo. Me thinks VW should be on that with their 5 cylinder engines currently standard... ?
