IVe read some reports about the C30T5 and it is the same engine and running gear as the Focus RS, but not as good a drivers car though.

I was at a Volvo dealer on Saturday and they had one in with the styling kit. Looks awesome

Focus ST, not RS.

Interior in the Volvo is very smart. I like the floating centre console.

Cheers

I like it too

Especially in this colour/wheel combination



However, thats a T5 SE Sport, and with Xenons and Decent Hi fi (but no integrated sat nav) it is nearly £26,000 OTR.

I really like (not that I am Volvo biased like AL is for Audi ) & I see that there is a D5 version, although currently only available with the 5sp auto.

Now when they drop in the 6sp manual and I take it up to RICA UK - TUNING for VOLVOS - Specialists in Performance Tuning for Volvo Cars for 210bhp/300+ ft/lb then any old S3 can go eat dust
