Volvo's new territory
Interesting Volvo C30 story (Oct. 23). Missing, however, was mention that the platform is shared with the Ford Focus. I admire Volvo for its courage in entering the hot-hatch game, but that market moves too quickly for the C30 to make a serious dent, especially with Mazda and Ford brethren priced thousands less. Prediction: bust.

Editor's Note: The C30 platform is shared with the European Focus. The Focus sold in America today is based on the previous-generation platform.
Neptune column outlook
I ride Ducatis and used to be at Neptune's Net almost every Sunday back in the late '80s and early '90s. I-like Richard Chang in his Oct. 9 column-have fond memories of the place and decided to go back for a visit a couple of years ago. What I found was that the parking lot and surrounding areas were full, and I was rudely told that there is an hour's wait for food and please go away. The place has been discovered, probably because it was featured in the movie Point Break.
