This is a 2012 Volvo C30 R-Design in electric silver metallic with the two-tone leather/Flextech upholstery in black and calcite colors.   Absolutely gorgeous.    It has 12,608 miles, has never been in an accident, and I have treated it very well.      It has absolutely zero mechanical issues and drives like an absolute dream.   The seats are extraordinarily comfortable, the driving position perfect, with excellent visibility.   

I am selling because my family is growing and we need more room for kids.       Very hard to let it go, because we adore the car.    

It has all the bells and whistles:

R-design package with special wheels, tires, sport seats, interior accents, ground effects and body treatments, sport tuned suspension, dual sport exhaust system, floormats, and more. 
Sirius Satellite Radio
Power moonroof 
Bluetooth 
USB input
Aux input 
A fantastic sounding stock stereo with steering-wheel mounted audio controls 
Tire pressure monitor 
Keyless entry and keyless starting 
Traction control 
Power driver and passenger seats with lumbar adjustments 
6 speed auto with manual shifting
Cruise control 
Automatic headlights with daytime running lights 
Airbags everywhere 
Power everything 

The Polestar upgrade cost me $1350 at the dealer.    It is an engine control unit upgrade that Volvo offers.   It provides 250 horsepower and 273 lb.- ft. of torque, up 23 and 37 respectively from stock .  This upgrade was performed at the dealer where I purchased the car (Rusnak Volvo in Pasadena) and is fully warranted.     A great thing about it is that it doesn't ding the fuel economy numbers at all.      I was really happy with this upgrade, and noticed a difference right away when it was installed.   This car is wonderfully powerful.   

It has a 3 inch scratch on the driver door, and edge of the front air dam has two scrapes on the bottom edge from parking or tall driveways that I went up.    Apparently many C30 owners get these, and the bottom piece is replaceable if the cosmetics bother you.      Otherwise, the car is immaculate, with zero issues and zero surprises.   I have all the service records and have only taken it to the excellent service department at Rusnak since I purchased it new about a year and a half ago.  I have kept it waxed and detailed all the time, and have likewise babied the interior with excellent leather conditioning and cleaning products that leave no residue or smell. 

The other little extra that it has is a ProClip mount for your smartphone.   You need to purchase the secondary piece that is specific to your phone, but the mount is nice to have there and is specific to the C30.     
3 day auction--if it doesn't sell I will be trading it in on wednesday.  Local Pick-Up only.   Cashiers check or cash within 3 days.

Volvo Concept Coupe is a long-legged Swedish GT [w/video]

Tue, 10 Sep 2013

They may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of the marque, but Volvo has a long and surprisingly lustrous lineage of coupes in its stable, from the P1800 to the 142 to the Bertone 262C to the 780 Bertone and the recently departed C70. Few of those two-doors have stood the test of time the way the voluptuous P1800 has, a fact the company's designers are apparently keenly aware of. It is that exact model that Volvo says they've drawn upon for this new Concept Coupe, and while the showcar bears little resemblance to the smaller P1800 that inspired it, both cars have a visual grace and presence that has often eluded the brand's grasp.
While not completely ripping up the design language established by the 2001 S60 in 2000, the Coupe Concept is arguably the most radical design statement we've seen from Volvo in well over a decade. Gone is the tone set by the drop-shoulder hood, and in its place is a more flowing, organic look, with the generous proportions of a grand tourer. The concept is a particularly nice piece of work, from its new T-shaped daytime running lamps to its pronounced rear fenders that subtly echo those of the P1800. Interestingly, Volvo informs that the first production model to benefit from this new aesthetic will be the next-generation XC90 crossover - and judging by the teasers we recently saw, this language looks like it'll translate nicely to the CUV's larger shape.
The Concept Coupe is powered by a through-the-road plug-in hybrid architecture composed of a twincharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder powering the front wheels and an electric motor servicing the rears. All-in, Volvo says the system is good for 400 horsepower and 443 pound-feet of torque.

Volvo reveals 400-hp twin-charged PHEV power for new XC90 [UPDATE]

Tue, 08 Jul 2014

UPDATE: An earlier version of this post indicated that the larger of the conventional diesel engines was a five-cylinder. However all three powertrains announced for the upcoming new XC90 are actually four-cylinder engines. The text has been updated accordingly.
Volvo rolled in to new territory when it introduced the original XC90 back in 2002, creating its first SUV and one of its top-selling models. But that was 12 years ago. In the meantime it's followed up with the smaller XC60, but what the brand faithful and the industry at large have been looking forward to most is the arrival of the new XC90.
Previewed by the Concept XC Coupe at the Detroit Auto Show, the new XC90 is set to arrive later this year, but to keep us on our toes, the Swedish automaker has been steadily trickling out a stream of information and photos. Two months ago it gave us a glimpse inside the cabin, and last month it revealed its new infotainment system, but now Volvo has released details on the upcoming new XC90's powertrain.

Geely targeting US market in 2016 with help from Volvo

Fri, 30 Aug 2013

Following reports that it'd team up with corporate sibling Volvo on a Chinese-market car comes a report from Bloomberg that Geely would reattempt its entry into the US market. The Chinese brand had a display at the 2006 North American International Auto Show, but has been absent from the US scene ever since.
The Geely branded cars will be jointly developed with Volvo, and bank on the Swedish manufacturers reputation for safety and reliability. Geely's CEO, Gui Shengyue, explained, "Our acquisition of Volvo enhanced our image and overseas consumers are seeing us as an international company." This represents a change in rhetoric for the brand, after Geely Chairman Li Shufu hamstrung the idea of a closer pairing, citing fears that an association would harm Volvo's reputation. The news of projects between Geely and Volvo first broke last week, although it's unclear if the cars that end up coming to the US will be the same as those being sold in China.
As we reported last week, Geely is already aiming to be the biggest brand in the Chinese domestic market. With this move to the US market, it's also attempting to overtake Chery as China's largest automotive exporter. According to the Bloomberg report, Geely has already moved 180,000 units overseas, which is extremely close to the 184,800 vehicles sold by Chery in 2012. By 2018, Geely anticipates that 60 percent of its sales will be occur outside of the PRC.
