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 S60 Polestar Concept looking Smurfy in Jay Leno's Garage

Tue, 22 Jan 2013

Is it just us, or has Jay Leno's Garage evolved from an intimate, off-the-cuff video series designed to show off the late-night comedian's automobile collection into something a lot more ambitious and... mainstream? This isn't a complaint, exactly, as Leno has been putting out engaging videos at an increasingly furious pace. However, we can't help but note that the subjects have largely graduated from the funnyman's steam-powered eccentricities and forgotten classics to lots of new production and concept cars, often with automaker execs in tow. It's almost as if the series is turning into an internet version of his NBC talk show, one where bigwigs swing by to show off their latest projects as part of their publicity tours, only instead of new movies and albums, it's cars or the occasional motorcycle.
Such is the exactly case with Volvo's stonking S60 Polestar Concept, which makes its appearance in Jay's warehouse of wonders this week. Tuned by in-house skunkworks Polestar, the "Swedish Racing Blue" S60 has certainly been making the rounds as of late, with recent appearances near Leno's garage at the LA Auto Show and an Auto Motor und Sport track faceoff against the BMW M3 and Audi RS4 Avant.
Perhaps we shouldn't be surprised that Volvo is so keen to get its showcar in front of the cameras - last we heard, executives were seriously considering a small production run for their unlikely 508-horsepower, all-wheel drive sport sedan, though we continue to hear that realistic pricing is likely to be a roadblock.

Volvo demos autonomous self-parking car concept

Thu, 20 Jun 2013

A number of companies are developing autonomous vehicle technology - Google and Audi come to mind - but Volvo is applying its work in the area to a particular usage case: parking. The Swedish automaker has the technology up and running in a concept vehicle, which it says can be dropped off at the curb by its owner and left to its own devices to enter and navigate a car park, then find and park in an available parking spot. Volvo says the process can even be reversed when the owner is ready to go, with the car leaving the car park on its own to meet its key-holder again at the curb.
The vehicle first interacts with Vehicle 2 Infrastructure technology, which places transmitters in the road itself to inform the car (and driver) if the self-parking service is available. The driver then hops out, activates the Self Parking function on his or her smartphone and then leaves the car to do its work. The car uses sensors, all seemingly hidden from view (an advancement of its own in this field), to autonomously navigate the car park, which includes interacting and adjusting to other cars, people and objects.
The technology used here builds off of Volvo's other work in autonomous vehicle research, namely the Safe Road Trains for the Environment (SARTRE) project in which the company managed to create a train of four cars autonomously following a lead truck at speeds up 56 miles per hour. Volvo says the first application of its autonomous research in a production vehicle will happen at the end of 2014 with some level of autonomous steering available in the next-generation XC90. See the system in action by watching the video below.

Volvo's Geneva-bound concept wagon looks sexy in a raincoat

Fri, 21 Feb 2014

Volvo is set to complete its concept car trilogy at the next month's Geneva Motor Show with the debut of its Concept Estate, the followup to its Concept Coupe from the Frankfurt Motor Show and Concept XC Coupe from the Detroit Auto Show. We've been looking forward to its Swiss debut, and now some teaser images of the Concept Estate have been uncovered... on the website of a raincoat seller?
Yes, Swedish raincoat maker Stutterheim has apparently been commissioned by Volvo to build a high-quality car cover for its Geneva concept, and the fabricator's website shows off some of the details of the long-roofed design study. From what we can see, it looks like the Concept Estate is more shooting brake than traditional wagon. Also, it's brown. So basically, Volvo has built the ultimate car for auto journalists.
Joking aside, the images show off more than a few of the design traits we've seen on Volvo's two previous concept cars. A wide, rectangular grille and lowercase-B-shaped taillights are both noticeable in these teasers, but we can't see much more than that.
