Exterior - What the Auto Press Says

The 2010 Volvo C30 looks modern, muscular and cool to many. Plus its severely slopping glass hatch gives it one of the most distinctive exterior designs of its segment.

• "In a class dominated by 2-box hatches, the C30's coupe profile is a pleasing departure." -- Road and Track
• "Volvo's newest hatchback is a worthy alternative to the dime-a-dozen Mini Coopers and Volkswagen GTIs." -- Edmunds
• "The fenders are downright pumped. Big and bulging, sort of Jose Canseco-ish. They flare above the rear tires, giving great definition to the back that Volvo aficionados will appreciate." -- Boston Globe
• "The most distinctive-and-coolest-part of the C30 is the solid glass rear hatch." -- Car and Driver
• "The C30's bodacious butt does harken back to that of the P1800ES, a cult-classic wagonette from the early 1970s, not to mention the posterior of the Safety Concept Car from the 2001 Detroit auto show, a showpiece that served as inspiration for the C30." -- Motor Trend
