[Hank Scorpio]

So there is the distinct possibility that I'll be getting a C30 as a company car towards end of the year. Im stuck between two colors

Im pretty excited. Still have to hammer out some details but if we can make it happen might be able to order pretty soon. :-D

[classiccarsrule85]

I've had a bunch of blue cars and that was my first choice too. But damnit if that white/brown isn't growing on me FAST.

[Inc3pt]

I really like the white.

I love blue, but not that particular blue.

There are a couple other blues but they are to dark for me (remember the car sits in front of wood shop every day ;-) )

Seriously, get the white.

[1 riktig svensk]

I am a big fan of blue...especially the one on the "Ocean Race" edition. This blue is kinda' blaah.....so I'd go for the white.

[blu92in99]

Cosmic white.

[Inc3pt]

To prove my point:

[the poi]

white with brown, reeeeeally nice

[homer1300]

Those wheels are hot. Also, the C30 is sweet, I got a chance to check one out while skiing last year (they had one at the resort for some reason). The car seems to be very well designed.

[Hank Scorpio]

Im leaning HEAVILY towards white/brown now.

I am so ****ing excited (at the strong possibility)

[amargill19?]

I'm really diggin' the white

[Biesey]

Go white and brown its a more unique combintation compared to the Blue. Plus the white will fare the sun better. I have a Black S60 and its a PITA when i comes to sitting in the sun all day. in from of my igloo. :-P

[JE Jr]

That orinco blue looks better IRL, but well, the white is nice too.

But be sutre to get those wheels, most others are not that exciting...

[MikeJr.]

black on black

[Hank Scorpio]

black on black

:rofl: not going to happen.

[Inc3pt]

black on black

I think black on the C30 hides it's sexy lines and then the car looks bland. Just IMO though.

Edit: for the 69th time, white please. :-D

[1stRaven]

Just ask mr Joy of six want one is like to drive.

then step back.

[homer1300]

black on black

That's what I would probably go with.

[F1reBird]

2 TONE FTMFW!!!! blue is my fav color, but that white and brown..GAHHHH i need a tissue.

and i think that blue is very common on the streets, white brown will def turn heads

[ferret]

Get the blue. That blue + tint = awesome

Every car comes in white :roll:, but maybe I just say that because I have a white car.

[SwedishBrick242...]

I voted for blue, but damn, that white is growing on me too. Only because of the two tone though. Otherwise, I tend to lean away from white cars. Are there any other two-tone options?

We get to play with it at future BBQs right? :-D;-)

[Hank Scorpio]

bump for better blue pic

[Inc3pt]

bump for better blue pic

Damn, the blue looks a ****load better in that pic, but still


LOOLOL WHITE

[classiccarsrule85]

I retract my first statement lol go with white its definately growing on me alot more than the blue car i guess i shouldve took a look waited and then took another look at it lol instead of impulsing...

[RedFridge]

I say white.
Carbon fiber looks better on a white car.

[Fivehundred]

The white looks OK, but the blue is simply better.

The wife of a friend of mine works for a large Bavarian car company who had better remain nameless:-P , (she gets a new car every 8000 miles):grrr: .

She manages the rental program. They took on a new guy for another geographical area. Before the job starts he gets to choose his car. The colour he picked was white. They promptly withdrew the job offer as clearly he doesn't know about cars, or residuals and the the dealers wouldn't take him seriously!

[norcal505]

I've had a bunch of blue cars and that was my first choice too. But damnit if that white/brown isn't growing on me FAST.
then cop one!!:oogle:

[McLovin]

white with black trim. Obviously.

[Chrisco]

What is you favourite colour? Blue. No white! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!

< /holy grail >

I vote white.

[wisturbo]

Orinico Blue with the Pegs off the T5R!!
Duh, OMG, you'd be crazy not to!

[norcal505]

Orinico Blue with the Pegs off the T5R!!
Duh, OMG, you'd be crazy not to!
pegs on the white/brown would be TEH SEX!!!

[klr142]

Bloooooooo!

[towerymt]

Carbon fiber looks better on a white car.
That's what they tell me.

Doug, pick the color that best matches your ass.

[DoubleV]

White... It looks sooo mean when its clean. And it matches everything.

Wasn't your S60 blue...? Been there, done that.

[SwedishBrick242...]

Doug, pick the color that best matches your ass.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: seriously

[Dauntless]

The blue. I really don't think white suits the C30. Besides, white cars are for old people.

[badvlvo]

The blue. It will be a nice contrast with the T's Red and the bananna boat. I don't care for the white all that much.

[norcal505]

this is a hard descion, ill have to give that to you...
btw..you had a s60???
what bricks have you had besides the 242, 850, 100, and the new 245??

[B Mac66]

[homer1300]

For some reason, I always see a lot of white cars in the ghetto. I'm not sure why.

[don hodgdon]

A vote for the Blue...

Doug, have you seen the C30-Mini-GTi comparo on the Winding Road site?

http://www.windingroad.com/features-page/volvo-c30-mini-cooper-s-volkswagen-gti/

And we give a last shout-out to Volvo for jumping back into this compact fray after so many years of un-compact pursuits. We love the C30’s exterior, adore the interior, and think its comportment over any road is strictly commendable for a first-generation model competing in one of the world’s litmus-test market segments. It’s a rare thing when this happens, and we appreciate all of the properly focused hard work the company has done to immediately be taken seriously. The Volvo C30 is a “moment” for the company, and we just hope North Americans buy it.

[Hank Scorpio]

Kick ass :)

[Body Massage]

I vote that Volvo should re-release sunset yellow as seen here:

http://catastrophic-error.ath.cx/p1800/Minp1800lft.jpg

But out of those two? White all the way.

[F1reBird]

For some reason, I always see a lot of white cars in the ghetto. I'm not sure why.

crack?

[Morley]

Stay the **** away from the blue. Ya know why. ;-)

[edicius]

Heres some advice from someone at a dealership....the blue isn't really that, um, blue. In person it looks more teal.

Cosmic white is a light silver but its still way better then the blue.

[cook me some eggs bitch]

If you can correctly pronounce the name of the blue...get it...

Otherwise get the white... :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[impulse922]

white, thats a girly blue :-P

swededemon's car is HOT!

and in that comparo, wtf is up with gti boostin 26.7 psi? kind of um..high for a reliability standpoint isn't it?

[CaptainWhoosh]

just get the wheels...and put them on the R

[CaptainWhoosh]

Bloooooooo!

call on meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[viking72]

I VOTED WHITE BUT THEN i'M COLORED BLIND AND CAN'T SEe BLUE.
gOD i HATE WHEN THE CAP LOCK STICKS.

[gangster phat]

The pearlish white is hott. It wont get old as fast as that blue will. That blue is nasty.

[stylngle2003]

doug, whatever you do, get the offblack leather and red carpet!

[Hank Scorpio]

doug, whatever you do, get the offblack leather and red carpet!

actually getting the black and white two tone interior... though that was number 2 on my list

seals the deal.

[stylngle2003]

also, fwiw, the version 1.0 has 12 optional colors available, while the 2.0 has 6

but the 2.0 has better everything else

i bet version one weighs less.

[MikeHardy]

i say blue but with the brown coded kit

black...so hot.

[Hank Scorpio]

Probably not by much. Really the main difference is the stereo, the sunroofs are optional on both.

[940 R]

The Blue looks really good the white is good too but i dont think the two tone look very good

[SwedishBrick242...]

I love that silver/titanium two tone. Thats probably the one I would get if it was RWD...

[MikeHardy]

USA site sucks, doesn't have the same interactive gallery as uk one.
mess around here and see what ya like.
http://www.volvocars.co.uk/models/c30/gallery/360.htm

the flint grey body goes nice with the java pearl kit.

[foggyjames]

The Silver/Titanium version Mike posted gets my vote. The darker blue looks very nice in person, but I appriciate your reasons for avoiding it.

cheers

James

[stylngle2003]

2.0 has the dynamic chassis and 18s standard

[JE Jr]

I saw the "electric silver" in person yesterday. Was really, really nice for being a silver! Was on a 07 S60 with the 18" Eudora (or similar). ouch, nice car!

[Cornercase]

Ah geez. Once I noticed the trim on the white, I liked it a lot.
