WHY Is 00R Infatuated With The Volvo C30 Polestar?

I've come to learn that as I get older there are some things you can't explain. An example of such a phenomenon are certain things that I adore at first sight.

One of which is the Volvo C30 Polestar.

Although it sports one of the most obnoxious blues of our time since the BMW E46 M3's Laguna Seca, that's not what catches my eye. It's the C30's stance, attitude and one of my favorite parts, the sound. With that two and a half liter five-cylinder motor operating at full tilt, it has the same tonal quality as a Lamborghini Gallardo or Audi R8 V10. Call me crazy but that's what I am hearing.

Then there is the interior, which is my weakness in just about any car. The stock C30 has a really well-done interior space as well but the Polestar just takes everything and wraps it in Alcantara. That may just be the best idea anyone's ever had.

Why shouldn't I like this car? Why shouldn't YOU like this car? If Volvo were to build something like this would you ever consider it over an AMG, M or S/RS product?
