Really needs a pronounced lip on the front spoiler, and a wing on the back, a la 850 R -
Plus a stonking T5 motor!! Oh Yes, Mamma take me home . . . .

I agree - I don't get this R "design" to be honest, to me it shouts "all show and no go". Its not an 'R' model in the traditional sense. However you can't blame Volvo I guess, a lot of car companies are chavving up the cars with spoilers, big wheels etc even though under the bonnet it could be anything from a boggo base model to a full blown performance motor. Whatever sells I guess....
I bet most of the people that will buy these cars won't even know what R sport meant. Just my two-penneth anyway |

Its a sports pack. Spoilers, bigger wheels, suspension lowered, specific interior trim and plently of little badges.

It means you can look like you drive an Audi S-line,
without the actual embarrassment of driving an Audi. |

There's a Sky Blue C30 with 400bhp thats very worthy of an 'R' Badge.
The ONE car that could bring Volvo to a new audience, and they won't produce it. Madness! |
