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.

IIHS says these are the safest cars of 2013

Wed, 02 Jan 2013

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has revealed its annual list of Top Safety Picks, an award that highlights automobiles it says offer "superior crash protection." A new and still more significant award, the Top Safety Pick+ honor, is given to those vehicles that earn good ratings for occupant protection in four out of five areas of measure. And while some 117 vehicles were given the TSP seal of approval for 2013, just 13 passed muster for TSP+.
To be fair, IIHS only evaluated 29 vehicles with its new testing procedures for TSP+ (we'd expect that the number of qualified cars will rise substantially for 2014). Luxury and Near Luxury midsize cars were the first groups evaluated, followed by midsizers in the Moderately Priced Cars category - unsurprisingly, it's only midsize cars that you'll find among the class this year.
Only two luxury sedans made the list of 13 for 2013: the Acura TL and Volvo S60. The other 11 cars on the list included entries from domestic, Japanese and German car makers: Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord (sedan and coupe), Kia Optima (but not its close kin, the Hyundai Sonata, strangely), Nissan Altima, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Suzuki Kizashi and the Volkswagen Passat all made the grade.

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.

Tony Nicolosi confirmed as Volvo's North American CEO

Tue, 14 Jan 2014

This past October, John Maloney stepped down from his post as CEO at Volvo Cars North America. In his place, the Swedish automaker tentatively promoted Tony Nicolosi, who had until then served as head of Volvo Car Financial Services. The appointment was reportedly temporary, giving Nicolosi the title of acting CEO. But according to Automotive News, his position has now been confirmed for the long run.
Although Volvo has yet to announce a new director for its financial arm, Nicolosi says they have found the right person and will announce sometime between now and the National Automobile Dealers Association convention, set to take place later this month in New Orleans.
Last month, Volvo also announced that its global communications chief Bodil Eriksson is moving from the home office in Gothenburg to the North American office in Rockleigh, New Jersey. Anders Kärrberg has been promoted from the government affairs post to take Eriksson's place.
