The 2010 Volvo C30 is sure to turn some heads here in Frankfurt with a new front fascia that is inspired by the S60 Concept. We have to give two-thumbs up to the model’s first ever total redesign and for the fuel-efficient powertrain lineup.

The only bone we have to pick with the C30 is that it is available in, 13 different exterior body colors, 11 different drivelines (manual/automatic transmission included), 11 different aluminum wheels, 27 upholstery choices and a whole bunch of other options, making 2,561,328 possible combinations. There’s just too much to choose from.
