The Volvo V30 is a small sporty coupe that recalls the Volvo P1800 of the '60s and '70s with its hatchback shape and large one-piece glass tailgate. The C30 marks Volvo's return to the small(ish) two-door hatchback market. Volvo expects the C30 to appeal to younger buyers and turn them into Volvo customers -- as the marketing slogan goes -- "for life".
