Default Ran into a moded Volvo C30 ~~ take a look!

I was on my way back to the office and saw these two Volvo C30, what do you guys think??








The car doesn't look complete yet. I think they are preparing it for the CEMA show in Vegas.

Friggin' Ugly.
The basic design puts me off anyway.

Is the c30 even available yet?

Yeck for the yellow one, the other one is okay. Sometimes I like the c30 design, at least it's not boring, and isn't bangle-like. I'd have to see one in person. The dark gray color Volvo is offering is the best color for c30 I've seen so far.

I didn't know that rear widebody mods could be so ugly.

I like the designs of the new Volvo's. So far from being cookie cutter. Different, even unique. I wouldn't choose yellow for this type of car though.

I was hoping when you said "ran into," that you meant it literally.

I thought the same thing, I was expecting to see some wrecked cars.

Those are some big brakes indeed, bet that thing stops on a dime. Although I think the yellow car is ugly, and what the heck is that cardboard lip thing at the bottom in front of the car?? Looks out of place IMO
