Listing our 2008 Volvo C30 coupe. We're the third owners and have had the car for approximately two years now. The car was original a Volvo corporate lease vehicle for one of their executives. Following that it was purchased by a pharmaceutical sales rep who put the majority of the mileage on the car. We purchased the vehicle with just over 90k miles on it and it has been a reliable daily driver ever since. Since we've purchased we've had the following service/parts replaced: -New manual transmission - came out of a car with 26k miles on it (with receipt). Was installed by the local Volvo dealer along with a new clutch. -New passenger side wheel bearing -Brand new tires - less than 3k miles on them -Two new wheels - noticed a small shimmy so we purchased OEM replacements from Volvo -New floor mats/rear trunk mat/rear trunk cover - all from Volvo -New R design pedals - to replace worn original rubber pieces -A/C recharged - blows cold -Passenger tail light replaced - original had a deep scratch on it -Paintless dent removal - to remove door dings. This was done about 18 months ago and despite our best efforts there are two door dings currently. Still very good for the mileage/year -Installed rear bumper protector - helps prevent scratches while loading/unloading trunk -New center armrest - original had small tear -All fluids (oil/coolant) replaced Given the age and mileage there are a few negatives. They are as follow: -Small crack in front grille - hard to see but wanted to point it out -Few scratches/dings in paint - not bad but the car has over 100k miles on it so to be expected -Two wheels have curb rash -Interior seat wear - driver seat has minor bolster wear and small tear in bottom seat cover. Unfortunately this is common with the T-tec fabric Other than that I can't think of anything significant to add. The car runs/drives just fine. We use it to commute to work and for the occasional road trip where it performs flawlessly.

Volvo Pure Tension concept folds solar charging pavilion into trunk

Tue, 16 Jul 2013

Even by the 'anything-goes' standards of concept cars, this one is a head-spinner: the "Pure Tension" Volvo V60 Pavilion, commissioned by Volvo Italy and winner of the Pure Volvo Pavilion Design competition. The alien form seen hovering all over the rendered V60 is a pavilion, as in the kind erected for trade shows or outdoor events. Developed by Synthesis Design + Architecture, Buro Happold, and Fabric Images, the pavilion is a flexible mesh structure held in place by a carbon fiber rods.
What's more, the mesh is embedded with photovotaic cells so that the pavilion can absorb energy from the sun or indoor lighting, making it a portable charging station. It can power itself or the crossover, the V60 at the center of it all being a diesel hybrid that plugs straight into the pavilion. When it's time to go, the entire structure can be folded small enough to fit in the trunk of the car.
We're told it will be shown in September in Rome. Even if we never see this particular creation on the streets, it's comfortable proof that our future will eventually be wilder than we can imagine.

Volvo denies boss Jacoby is taking a run at Opel CEO post

Tue, 07 Aug 2012

It seems that every news report that involves the name "Opel" is eventually followed by a report that says, "Uh, never mind." Executives fill positions, then they're gone, or they're supposed to fill positions but duck out before doing so, five-year product offensives turn into grabbing for life preservers, and turnaround plans are followed by... new turnaround plans. With the recent departure of Opel CEO Karl-Friedrich Stracke, Swedish newspaper Dagens Industri reported that Volvo CEO Stefan Jacoby topped the list of candidates to sit in Opel's very hot seat.
Volvo spokesman Stefan Elfstrom has piped up to say "Mr. Jacoby is fully occupied with running Volvo and has no plan for leaving his present job." Stranger things have happened, though, and who knows what the truth is, but we have to admit we'd be surprised if Jacoby jumped off the Volvo express - recently given an $11-billion boost by parent company Geely - to take his chances in the Opel maelstrom.
So Opel's search for a CEO continues. At least we have the Adam to look forward to.

Volvo bringing Chinese-built cars to America beginning next year

Wed, 18 Jun 2014

Just because the penetration of the American automotive market by Chinese brands hasn't quite happened yet doesn't mean that Chinese-built cars are far off. According to a new report, we could very soon see long-wheelbase Volvo S60s that were assembled in the People's Republic arriving on US shores.
The report comes from Automotive News China, which cites an anonymous Volvo exec. An official Volvo spokesperson later corroborated ANC's report, although where the original source claimed that we could see the Chinese-built S60L in US dealers at some point in 2015, the company line was that a timeline hadn't been established to begin exports from the world's most populous nation.
According to Volvo, the benefit to exporting from China to the United States rather than from Sweden is the relationship between the US dollar and the Chinese yuan. Overall, it's a less tumultuous issue than the dollar-to-euro situation. By moving vehicles from China to the US, the Chinese-owned company is limiting the degree of risk it's taking with sudden currency swings.
