It's why I had to order mine.

A manual in general is rare...I did a custom order to get a manual r-design, preferred package, and electric silver.

Exactly what I got, but in orange.

I did find a silver manual r-design, but it didn't have the preferred package.

a few days ago, on the 5S freeway (i believe), i was driving at night and i saw c30 headlights, but it looked like the top part of the moon-shaped "eyes" weren't lit up (is that normal?? haven't seen enough at night nor do i look at my own to know if it's lit). i knew immediately it was a c30, cosmo white with java i believe. i drove next to it. driver and passenger inside, but couldn't really see as it was tinted too.

we literally drove next to each other for at least 10 minutes. it was fun and kind of awkward. i finally took my exit. but that was fun!

2009 R Design you could get a moonroof as a stand alone and I have a manual with PP, BLIS and a bunch of other extras but it was different for a 2009. Pedersen Volvo in CO ordered about 45% with manuals in 2009, 2010.

LAVeniceDude · 08-30-2010, 02:50 PM

I'd say in LA the manual percentage is well-below 45%, and for some reason the dealerships seem to think that anyone who wants a manual is trying to save money, and thus doesn't want anything else on it.

I went to L.A. last week and saw like 4 other C30s... all prefacelift and I never had an opportunity to wave or anything :/

LAVeniceDude · 08-31-2010, 04:47 PM

Wow.

I live in LA and it took at least a month to see 4 C30s.

Sharks909 · 09-01-2010, 06:35 AM

Yea I was surprised because I've made other trips to L.A. and have seen nothing
just random chance I suppose

genjy · 09-03-2010, 12:10 PM

Last night around 9:15PM or so, I saw a silver-ish 1.0/base on Grand Ave going south towards Mt. San Antonio College.

I was going to the opposite direction.

That's all I have.

Irukandji · 09-03-2010, 02:27 PM

I haven't yet seen any in CA on my visits down there. Heading down again tomorrow and I'll report back if I see any.

LAVeniceDude · 09-03-2010, 03:37 PM

I saw a red one on the way to work, on Walgrove right by the Santa Monica airport. Haven't seen this one before, it was a pre-facelift.

meeks · 09-03-2010, 05:46 PM

i saw 3 on the 405 north in costa mesa the first week of having my car and they were all black (and stock) too. havent seen one since. anyways my eibachs might be up for sale if any of you guys are interested. only 1000 miles on em. might be getting some coilovers to improve the stance.

I'm interested in the Eibachs. I'm going to PM you my phone number, if you decide to go that route.
