Volvo C30
The C30 is certainly the most original model found in the Volvo line-up, as well as being the least expensive. Inspired by the venerable Volvo P1800 ES and designed by Montreal born stylist Simon Lamarre, this small sports car is attracting a new younger clientele to the brand. For 2009, the C30 gets a new options package called R-Design aimed at giving it a more distinctive monochromatic look. The package also contains 18-inch wheels, xenon headlights, and an exclusive and dynamic interior treatment.
