The C30 is Volvo's version of the VW Golf. This Polestar Edition (6-speed manual transmission) of the C30 is analogous to the GTI version of the Golf. It has more horsepower (250) and torque (273) than both the current GTI and the new generation model that is coming out later this year. This is truly a sports car as when you hit the gas, the turbo engages immediately and you can feel your body being pushed back into the seat by the near instant torque boost.. This is one (#88) of only 250 of this Polestar Limited Edition made for sale in the US. The car was purchased new in October of 2013. I am selling it with only 7,000 miles on it as I unexpectedly lost my job and the mortgage takes priority over a sports car (obviously).

This car is a combination of sports and luxury. In addition to the turbocharged, specially tuned engine, it has all your typical luxury options, including heated leather seats, driver and passenger power seats, auto climate control, active xenon headlights, power heated mirrors, extra high quality audio system, and power moonroof, Additional options include blind spot information system (BLIS), black alloy wheels, bluetooth for phone and streaming audio, and a number of unique Volvo-only features, such as an Air Quality sensor that automatically switches from outside air to inside air when exhaust fumes are detected in the outside air. See the link below for a full description of this C30 Polestar.

This car comes with the full remainder of the 50,000 mile / 4 year factory warranty. And, the first three scheduled-maintenance services (10, 20, 30K miles) are free at any Volvo dealer. Also included are a set of winter floor mats and a new pair of winter wiper blades. And, I can tell you that the all-season tires on the car performed great in this past winter's snow. You can use these year-round and really don't have to buy a set of winter tires.

Please note that the starting bid price of $27,500 is 20% off the original sticker price of $34,000.  And, the car has been registered / on the road for only 7 months.

Volvo finds a way to turn body panels into batteries [w/video]

Thu, 17 Oct 2013

One of the problems with designing an electric vehicle is figuring out where to fit the battery pack. Volvo - as a part of a European Union research project - is working on a way around this issue by replacing standard parts with lightweight components that double as batteries on both conventional and plug-in vehicles. The image above shows one such piece on a Volvo S80. While looking like nothing more than a carbon fiber plenum cover, the piece is actually a battery pack that can store and supply enough energy for the car's entire 12-volt power system.
The parts are made by sandwiching super capacitors (which can charge faster than standard batteries) in between layers of carbon fiber. They can then be formed to replace numerous body panels such as the decklid, roof or door panels. Volvo says that the replacing the body panels and batteries with these nano batteries can help reduce the vehicle's weight by as much as 15 percent. It has taken more than three years just to design the batteries, so there's no telling when, or if, we'll ever see this technology used on a production vehicle. Scroll down for a video and press release on Volvo's innovative battery technology.

Volvo XC40 delayed because it's too big for its own good?

Thu, 11 Jul 2013

As fuel prices rise and greenhouse gases poke holes in the ozone, big, gas-guzzling sports utility vehicles are becoming less popular as smaller, cleaner vehicles, such as crossovers, gain market share. Volvo is late to the small crossover party, though it wants to build the XC40 crossover to compete with the Land Rover Evoque. The only problem with that, Autocar reports, is that a suitable (read: small enough) platform for it is up to five years away, despite a hopeful photos of it in testing guise.
Volvo is currently developing a new platform, called SPA (Scaleable Platform Architecture), to underpin its next-generation of vehicles, such as the 2014 XC60 pictured above and the S60 sedan, which is likely the smallest vehicle that would be able to use the new platform. Furthermore, there doesn't seem to be a quick fix for the gaping hole in Volvo's lineup, and Geely, the Chinese budget car manufacturer that owns Volvo, is reportedly preparing to launch a mid-market brand that may or may not be sold outside of China.
Can't Swedish car manufacturers catch a break?

Honda Civic, Volvo XC90 named 2016 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year

Mon, Jan 11 2016

It's a great day to be the Honda Civic and Volvo XC90. These cars are the official 2016 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year, with the awards just having been announced at the Detroit Auto Show. The Civic is a great car, and a fantastic entry in the compact class. To us, its win isn't a surprise, though our enthusiast hearts were really rooting for the runner-up Mazda MX-5 Miata. The new Chevy Malibu was also a finalist for this year's award. As for the Truck/Utility award, we wholeheartedly agree with the Volvo XC90 choice. It's a fantastic-looking, premium, tech-forward vehicle, and represents a huge step forward for Volvo here in the United States. But its runners-up, the Nissan Titan XD and Honda Pilot, are also great choices, bringing a lot of stiff competition to some pretty important segments. Here's how the jury voted: Car of the Year Honda Civic – 203 points Chevy Malibu – 181 points Mazda MX-5 Miata – 146 points Truck/Utility of the Year Volvo XC90 – 310 points Honda Pilot – 111 points Nissan Titan XD – 109 points
