Aoleoooo.... ce vind sa-l iau ?

4x4, 3.9 s 0-100, 500 cai, 575 nm...1670 kg (300 cai/T, 345 nm/T)

Dupa tuning se poate duce usor acolo unde ii e locul : 600 cai , 700 nm si 3.2 0-100, sa bata gtr-ul stoc la bani mai putini ! (200 cai/litru, 360 cai / T, 420 nm/T !!!)

Cu tot cu tuning nu cred ca trece de 70.000 euro.

Bravo VOLVO !

ps. Sper sa scrie mare pe spate V O L V O sa vada astia cu bmw-urile ce tocmai i-a luat. Asta-i masina care-ti trage frina de mina !

Dac-o sa apuc vreodata s-o iau, ma voi duce la intilnirea nationala bmw sa le-arat ce frumos se vede din spate masina asta ! Promit !

Pana acum doar pe Jay Leno l-am vazut sa se laude cu un Polestar Racing, un C30 albastru.

S60 Polestar Racing se va construi in serie numai daca va exista interes si cerere.

Deci exprimati-va interesul la reprezentanta... sunt curios cat costa. Banauiesc ca de la 80-90k in sus.

Si o stire ceva mai veche dar interesanta, care ne intemeiaza unele banuieli...

"Once again K-PAX Racing comes back with a vengeance.Topping last years single GT win at Mid Ohio this year after 2 drama filled races back to back , Driver Randy Pobst gets BACK to BACK wins and team mate Alex Figge finishes in a STRONG 2nd place. Sit back and watch the best team in the Pirelli World Challenge series do what they do best.......WIN !"

Noul XC40:

Interesant ca noile V-uri de la Volvo, atat V40 cat si V60, nu se vand in State.

Deci pentru America, Volvo nou, inseamna doar S60.

IIHS: New crash test aims to drive improvements

"Only 3 of 11 midsize luxury and near-luxury cars evaluated earn good or acceptable ratings in the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's new small overlap frontal crash test, the latest addition to a suite of tests designed to help consumers pick the safest vehicles.

The Acura TL and Volvo S60 earn good ratings, while the Infiniti G earns acceptable. The Acura TSX, BMW 3 series, Lincoln MKZ and Volkswagen CC earn marginal ratings. The Mercedes-Benz C-Class, Lexus IS 250/350, Audi A4 and Lexus ES 350 earn poor."

Somaj tehnic la fabrica din Torslanda:

"Volvo Car Corporation has decided to temporarily stop production in the Torslanda plant during week 44, from October 29 to November 2. The measure is taken based on a continued decline of the automotive market, primarily in Europe. Therefore a further adjustment to Volvo Car Corporation's manufacturing operation is necessary.

...

The temporary production stop is in addition to an earlier decision to reduce the production pace in the Torslanda plant from 57 cars to 50 cars per hour. That change came into effect on October 1.

..."

https://www.media.vo...x?mediaid=46338

Situatia e dificila pentru mai multi consstructori europeni datorita scaderii pietelor locale.

...Dificil moment pentru relansare.

[contdezactivat 613]

Ma intreb daca a observat cineva, ca din oferta Volvo pentru Romania (si Europa, banuiesc), lipseste s40 si v50.

RIP S40... LL V40

L.E. Chiar si C30 lipseste http://www.volvocars...es/default.aspx

Ma refer la faptul ca respectivele modele nu mai apar in pagina principala.

Edited 20 Oct 2012 by Adi2727

[BogdanG 3,159]

Pai sa fie din cauza faptului ca au iesit din productie ?

MY2013 va fi ultimul an pt C30, S40 si V50 .

Vorba aia, mai vezi Focus 2 nou sa se vanda pe undeva ?

[contdezactivat 613]

Dupa ce o sa lanseze xc40, aproape jumatate vor fi xc-uri...

Logic, ar trebui sa umeze C70 la pensionat sau inlocuit.

[mariusdaniel 950]

Da... interesanta evolutia in timp a modelelor. Dar nu am auzit nimic de S80 si XC90. Par cele mai in varsta...

[BogdanG 3,159]

xc90-ul este cel mai vandut model Volvo, anul viitor va aparea modelul nou iar S80-ul este din 2007 si a primit un facelift in 2010, mai are de stat inca 3 ani pana iese la pensie .

.......iar S80 second generation(2007) a primit facelift in 2010......asa cred ca ai gindit....

Trei ani începând de la facelift-ul din 2010, sau de acum încolo ?

De acum.

2007 + 8 = 2015

V40 Cross Country, detalii complete. Cred ca se poate comanda...

Vad ca T5 254cp e disponibil inca de la lansare.

[blueazimut 60]

Se pare totusi ca Volvo nu vor sa isi ia ramas bun de la C30...

http://www.volvocars...osscountry.aspx

Edited 25 Oct 2012 by blueazimut

[contdezactivat 613]

E posibil ca inca sa nu isi ia revedere de la C30... Vad ca e inclus in "planurile de viitor" ale fabricii din Ghent:

"...

In Ghent the S60, XC60, C30 and V40 models are being produced. In November, the serial production of the all-new V40 Cross Country will start.

..."

https://www.media.vo...x?mediaid=46478

[BogdanG 3,159]

Ba da, in decembrie 2012 se va fabrica ultimul C30 cu motor conventional, ramane in productie doar C30 electric iar C70 dispare tot cam atunci pt ca in 2013 se incheie productia .

O miscare normala as spune pt ca vorbim de o scadere cu 25% fata de 2010 si de 47.5% fata de 2008, C30-ul chiar nu a fost un "hit" pt Volvo iar vanzarile sunt slabe rau de tot in comparatie cu XC60 de exemplu care este cel mai vandut model .

Un upgrade destul de important, nedezbatut pana acum: faza lunga permanenta, adaptiva.
