Default 2006 Volvo C70 Hardtop Convert. (Pics)









Pics taken in Miami. Will be unveiled at the Frankfurt show later this year.

Looks to be a pretty nice looking convertible. It has a strong family resemblance(even predictable). Just what I was expecting, a two door S60/S40.

I will go ahead and agree that its kinda boring cause it looks like anyother convertible on the road today, but I wont go as far as saying that the entire lineup is boring. I do like the new S60 line and the S40T5 with the bodykit and certain trimlevel XC90's. There is just a predicatable design with the new Volvos(matter of fact all Volvo's). They all look like smaller or larger versions of one another.

I would have liked this model more if it had fender flares, and a different front facia that is more muscular (a la S60R and not girly S40). Maybe a factory bodykit will spice things up for this model. Time will tell, and I have to see it in person. Cant wiat to drive it (thats if I go back to work for them).

Oh, by the way, I still like the curernt C70 as well. I've said this before in other threads and I think that its definitely going to be a classic.
