The new Volvo C30 comes in on Volvo's 80th Birthday. Most people are not aware of the C30's interesting past lineage. Volvo had a hatch in the 80's and 90's that was not on our US shores.
The Volvo 480 is the predecessor to the C30 and is very 80's in a VW Scirocco kind of way. It's predecessor was the P1800.
