Volvo Cars of North America will price the C30 hatchback starting at $23,395, including $695 in destination charges, when it goes on sale in October.

The base model will be powered by a 227 hp turbocharged inline-five engine. Standard features include 17-inch wheels, chrome exhaust tips, power windows, remote locking, 160-watt stereo and leather-wrapped steering wheel and shifter.

An upgraded model, which starts at $26,395, features 18-inch alloy wheels, a larger roof spoiler, 650-watt stereo system with 10 speakers and a sport body kit. In an attempt to embrace mass customization, Volvo will offer the C30 in 17 exterior colors and 12 interior color combinations.

The C30 is based on the S40 platform, but is 8.5 inches shorter and weighs 320 pounds less.

That's a very competitive price. I think I'd like a base C30 over a GTI. I *love* that turbo five-pot. This is a lot of car for $23.4k.

That sounds pretty sweet. What does it look like?

Same semi-bland corporate nose, hatch reminiscent of their old P1800 coupes. This would've been a nice time for Volvo to re-release a RWD model, but I'm sure that'll never happen again.

I guess it is not terrible but pretty ugly at the same time.

Agreed, sad to say. Price for the Impreza hatch is about the same too, just two fewer drive wheels and doors.
