Clocked this today on Pistonheads - what do you think? http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/news/default.asp?storyId=20570 Looks a bit Megane coupe ish to me at the front.

new c70 gets the same facelift, and will reflect the family front coming in the new S60 in around November

YEUGH!!!!!!!!!! 1st one,original and best. By far and away the best looking hard or soft top. Each successive model is uglier,heavier and slower than the one it replaces. Just my opinion...

Just my opinion...[/quote] I'll grab a seat on your bus too if you don't mind. I think it may fill up pretty quickly. The original was the best looking. The rear of the new one is slowly morphing into a Focus CC. Another thinkg I hate to admit is that, in my opinion, the new C30's front end (esp the little grille inserts near the fogs) is a bit Focussy too. I smell a theme here...

Well they have finally ruined a good looking car... didn't take too long I guess. Time to find a dealer who still has an old model they can get hold of quick if you fancy a C30

I think it will look much better in the flesh, collegue got the new xc60 the other day and it looks really nice.

If you squint at the front, it's hard to tell it from a Focus. Dissapointment. I just want my T5! Who ever thought up R-design... it makes baby Jesus cry!

R-design is just a rip off of all the Audi S-line concept: boggo company rep spec TDI with all the flash body kit on!
