I bet he took his GM car for a drive and it caught fire and wouldnt stop moving while he was in it, so he crashed into a school bus full of kids and killed them all. So now he needs to move on to Toyotas which arent known for hitting school buses while on fire and accelerating out of control

Combine the 2 and you have it.

Just saw a Volvo today. Priced out a sweet C30R at $32k on their website.

The Volvo & VW dealers are next to each other in Troy & Ann Arbor so I'm planning a test drive trip soon.

I'm not sure how these 2 will compare... anybody got info on the volvo drivetrains? Seems like all their models run the same turbo I-5.

I looked online at BMW & Saab but they are out of my price range for what I want and I'm not sold on their looks.

That volvo is bad ass.

Gas Man · 05-16-2011, 08:33 PM

I know rite!! But how does it compare to the GTI or Golf R??

It's right in the middle for power and weight between the 2 VWs. More power than the GTI and 150# heavier.

Perhaps... is the Volvo better to my age (32) than the VW?? IDK

I like them because there aren't many S30's on the road. Unique car.
