The Inside Line at Edmunds reviews the 2008 Volvo C30. Their verdict? It's a "Volvo for young urban males." No, for serious, that's what they say. [Edmunds Inside Line]

    I am a young urban male and while I like the c30 (no really it's pretty nice looking), wasn't it expressly designed for women? Wasn't this an development of the concept car with the purse holder and pony tail slot in the headrests?
    I also read that on Edmunds and thought it looked funny.
    There is no way that cute Volvo hatchbacks are going to sell well with Urban males, unless they supercharge the hell out of it.

    "young urban males" code words for "gay"? Is that what they're getting at?

    I like the C30 too, may get one used in about ten years.

    Teds, It's based on that concept but didn't take the female desired aspects. It was designed with the thought of taking on the GTI explicitly.

    @lascauxcaveman: Shoot, my dictionary is broken - I thought it was code for Black.

    whoever it was designed for, I really like the c30. I suspect though it's not going to be nearly as fun to drive as a GTI or A3 or mini (or the 1-series hatch we'll never get in the US). but it's never occurred to me to like a volvo before. and I like the duotone colors you can put together in the configurator on the volvo site.
