Am I the first on the board with a Volvo c30?

[sp3cial_pip3s]

Well, I'll introduce myself and my car; 

I'm Allen I live and work in chicago's northwest suburbs.  I've previously owned a ford tempo, oldsmobile alero, honda element and now I'm the proud owner of my 3 week old 2008 Volvo c30 (pictures below).  I'm 22, I work for a private equity group that focuses mainly on corporate bankruptcy, M&A, yes, business is booming  and I can't complain.  So, about the car:

v1.0 with the t5, inline 5 cylinder 2.5 litre turbocharged engine. 
sunroof, keyless drive, ECC, and a few other not so interesting options (seat warmers, upgraded interior, trip computer)

I drove it home in the last blizzard chicago received;



and for a few pictures when the weather was better:

I only seen one of these on the road so far and I do a lot of driving (2,000+ miles a month). I'm interested to see how it plays out. I don't think the dealers are moving too many of them

unless a car maker puts a ton into advertising a new model, they won't sell too many cars, thats why I disagree with Volvo's "fee rear headrest monitor" comercials, they should be pasting shots of the c30 all over the airwaves instead.  I love the car so far, have had no issues with it yet except for a rear seatbelt issue that I "jimmied" back into place.  I posted road trip pictures from today in the gallery section.
