Fawk I'm stoked. I wanted to buy a house this year, but I think I might have to get one of these instead. I-5 218bhp. turbo. 4 bucket seats. They're target ing GTi buyers with this car. SIIIICK. Finally the hot hatch war is back. Remember the days when hot hatches ran rampant. I hope they come back . I love hatch backs...

probably another product probably developed on the ford focus/mazda 3 platform that was made by volvo in the first place.



Got anymore info on it? inline 5 turbo sounds interesting.

It's nice looking except for the rear which is uglier than sin. Why does it seem like a lot of car companies are having the hardest time making good looking cars?

Motor Trend has a few pages on it in the latest issue. Looks like an awesome car.

Yes that was mine. My wife threw it up on the dyno. I ended up putting some more modds on it. Then sold it, Another rx7 owner bought it for his fiance. Funny story, he saw the wagon on Craigslist. Came to check it out, and brought his rx7 We started talking and realized we both went to ABF 06. I would buy it back in a minute, but I think his fiance likes even more than I do.

I miss it too. It was my daily for a while, but I'm glad she's liking it.



The I-5 turbos rock, especially with a little help from a chip.



It's just too bad that Ford is in the mix now. They just aren't the same as the pre-ford Volvo's.



Oh well.
