Volvo C30 designed by a Canadian!

That’s right, the stunning new Volvo C30 is the vision of a good old Canadian boy.  Simon Lamarre grew up in Montreal and currently lives in Sweden, where he is a Studio Chief Designer for Volvo Car Corporation.

Great to see a guy from my generation, who grew up in the same country leaving his mark on the international stage. You can learn a bit more about Simon on his new blog.

That is one sharp hatchback. Wow. Looks like it has a great stance, and very successful blending of Volvo edges with the right combination of curves.

Agreed. The old “shoulder” that they’ve used for years is still prominent.
