Default Civic Si vs. Volvo C30

Stumbled upon this Volvo C30 video, and it got me thinking, how do you think these two match up? A bit more power in the Volvo, but what about handling, style, and all that.

Anyway, its a cool vid.

I just threw up a little in my mouth. It looks like a de-formed Ford Focus... the Front and Rear end of the car are HIDIOUS.

The only Volvo I'd get is the S60R.

si = 2886# vs C30 = 2970#. 100# difference, but torque of 139lb/ft vs 236lb/ft, respectively.

It looks like every other car on the road. Performace wise probably par or better, but the exterior style is old...

Well I own an 07 Si, but i work for Subaru/Volvo and the C30 will be quicker than the Si. The turbo charged motor on the Si is similar to the th 04 S40 and even the automatic T5 S40 could take our Si's. The C30 should handle as good as the Si with the HFP suspension. Its really not a bad car, but it wont last as long as our Honda's.........lol......

That's why he works for Volvo and not Honda (I'm sure he meant the C30 turbo charged motor)
