These were almost Focus RS500 for the US.... but FWD. They pick up ok and drive great at lower speeds. With thicker sway bars and wider, sticky Michelins, 100% would DD :] EDIT: RS500 was FWD. So yes, this was as close as the US came to an RS500.. but Muricanized lol

I've always thought these looked cool. It would be really fun to pick one up in 10-15 years and make it more shooting brake-ish.

they are neat cars and not too common. The prices were a bit on the high side though

I've always loved the C30 design :) But I am not please with how Polestar line-up remains in the side lines (in the US market, at least).

Volvo should develop the C30, swing some marketing cajones and compete with the Focus RS!

If they manage to meet or exceed that, it will establish Polestar in the minds of non enthusiasts and enthusiasts alike.

I just found a 2011 nearby for 13,599. Not too shabby.
