Volvo C30 hatchback

I was browsing ATP Turbo today and saw they had a kit for the Volvo C30. Wondering WTF a C30 is, I did some digging, and found this:
It has a turbocharged 227hp 2.5L I5 with a 6-speed, and fully independent 4-wheel suspension, all for under $25k. It makes 227hp at 5,000rpm, but the real kicker is 236tq from 1500-50000rpm. Peak torque is flat from off idle to where peak power is made! Dynamic stability and traction control, 19/28mpg, and quite the option list as well. 17 exterior color choices, and 12 interior color combinations too! I really like this thing, I could see myself driving one. It's a bit overweight at 3200lbs though. Drop $3250 at ATP, and you have a GT30R, cast iron turbo manifold, TiAL 44mm external wastegate, and a stainless steel wastegate dump and 3" downpipe. Quite an impressive little hatch I'd say!
