2008 Volvo C30 Custom Build Program

 

CUSTOM BUILDING MY INDIVIDUALITY, ONE VOLVO C30 AT A TIME

 

Who said wearing a red dress to a black-tie ball was wrong, and is there really a problem with wearing sneakers to a business meeting? Well, with the new Volvo C30, taking a step forward from the crowd feels just as good. The unique Custom Build program of the Volvo C30 capitalizes on individuality and is sure to set an example of one's self expression. After a one-time $300 fee, the Custom Build program options become readily available to the buyer, and from that point on, creativity is a must.

 

Whether you're cruising on a smooth country road or barreling down the concrete canyons of the city, standing out in a sea of generic silvers, blacks and blues has never been easier than with the new Volvo C30. The Volvo C30 Custom Build program offers a total of 17 exterior and 12 interior color combinations. With the Custom Build program, it will be nearly impossible to find any two C30s that are exactly alike, especially when an additional list of over 30 individual options is considered. For the standard offer alone there are more than 440 build combinations. This number skyrockets when a customer dips into the Custom Build program to over 5 million combinations!

Say goodbye to grandma's matte-brown jalopy and hello to a brand new kaleidoscope of eye-popping colors and textures. The new Volvo C30 will breakthrough the gray area of automobiles in its class and establishes a new position in the world of personalization. There isn't just a black and white area with the C30, but rather countless options ranging from Black Sapphire to Chameleon Blue with all shades of the modern rainbow in between. In addition to this spectrum, the C30's Cosmic White/Java Pearl combination is visible as a fresh face in the Volvo family portrait.

 

"We think this comprehensive list of options, coupled with a list of accessory items never before offered by Volvo is just what this customer will be looking for," noted C30 Product Manager Art Battaglia. "On the list you'll find items not available for some cars that might be cross-shopped against C30. A special order car is just that, special."

 

Volvo's Custom Build program with the C30 is all about "free will," and the perks to being the red dress at the black-tie ball are apparent. Maybe it's not just a vibrant Gecko Green on your C30, or two-toned interiors that get you fired up, but rather a sporty steering wheel and aluminum pedals. And for the rhythm nation, an I-pod input is standard in the center console, while and adapter for control through the radio is available as a retailer installed accessory.

 

Additional options to the Volvo C30 Custom Build program include the Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) which alerts of passing drivers in the blind spot by the illumination of a tiny lamp at the base of the A-pillar. In addition to uncompromising safety, dazzling exterior and interior shades, there are several alternative wheel choices and fresh accessories that become available through this unique program.
