A C90 could move upmarket and compete with the SC430, XLR, 6 series, Mercedes SLK.
And the C70 could stay with the Mercedes CLK, BMW 3 series, Audi A4.
Although why is it called the C70 when it is based off the S40/V50? C50 would be better.
I think they are using C70, as they already have a coupe/convertible with that designation... Priced above $40K... So, the new one will look like a bargain, even though it is based on a smaller vehicle..

at least that's my recollection from listening to a bunch of Volvo guys
I'd say this is true of almost every new model that comes out, in general... Every succeeding generation seems to have more interior room than the last..

the roof opening is at about 55 seconds in
Anyone else see future alignment/sealing problems?
Pretty nifty, though... would make a nice show at stoplights...

Volvo C70 at the Frankfurt Auto Show.

Think you meant C70, not V70.
Yeah, sorry I did mean C70.
Sorry for any confusion.
"Pricing has not been announced, but the all-new C70 is expected to have a base price of about $39,000."

The Audio system and cool retracting convertible top is the highlights of this otherwise neat car.
AC/ventilated seats ??? AWD ????
If Delphi ends up screwing over the UAW, I really like this car enough to actually buy one.....(I can't believe I'm saying this) only if it has alot of features and performance for the $$$$.
Anyway, I started driving our other house car, a Miata and liked the roadster feel so much, that I am now thinking about selling the volvo and buying a saturn sky.(I gave the miata to my college daughter)
My volvo has 15k miles and does not have a scratch, nick or dent anywhere, so if interested, give me a buzz.
Volvo makes one of the best cars I have ever owned, I like it better than my 02 325 convert, more luxury and more comfort, but I got tricked by the sales guy who told be it was 4y 48k PLUS full maintain such as oil, brakes etc, "just like BMW, and when I went in last week to get the wiper blades replaced, they charged me for them , and informed me that the full maint was only for oil / filter and scheduled stuff. The full deal was only for 1 year, so I sorta feel like the warranty is no better than a gm or chrysler.
Overall, never a problem in the 2 plus years I owned this car, and despite the service warranty, they are great to deal with. I would suggest Volvo to anyone who asked.
I'd say most models on the lot will be around $45K..
Hope the lease deals are good!

I'm disappointed to see them calling a 218 hp version the T5. Should be the 2.5T to keep in line with the S60 model with the same engine. The T5 should be 257 hp, like the S60 T5 (then again, i guess since the S40 T5 is 218, that's what they are going by?? But how much sense does a T5 model make when there is nothing below it to make it seem like the high-performance version?? AND, of course, that begs the question ... if its in the S40s class, can a buyer justify a $10K+ premium for 2 less doors and a folding top??).
With climate and premium packages, its over $42K. Pretty pricey, if you ask me. Inevitable discounting by the end of next year will probably bring it down to the higher $30s ($37-$38), which will be a bit more reasonable, but I still think the lack of a true T5 could hurt it.
'11 GMC Sierra 1500; '08 Charger R/T Daytona; '67 Coronet R/T; '13 Fiat 500c; '20 S90 T6; '22 MB Sprinter 2500 4x4 diesel; '97 Suzuki R Wagon; '96 Opel Astra; '08 Maser QP; '11 Mini Cooper S

Of course, I'd PREFER a C70 T5 with 257 hp.
'11 GMC Sierra 1500; '08 Charger R/T Daytona; '67 Coronet R/T; '13 Fiat 500c; '20 S90 T6; '22 MB Sprinter 2500 4x4 diesel; '97 Suzuki R Wagon; '96 Opel Astra; '08 Maser QP; '11 Mini Cooper S
But, then again, it might be hard to charge $45K for the "C40", when the S40 tops out at $35K...

Its still going to be a tough sell at that price, i think. $40k+ is right there in 3-series convertible range.

I don't know, if volvo prices itself into 325ci range... I know what i'm going to pick...
The 330Cic's are generally $50K+

At least its far cheaper than the $$$ BMW wants for a 330Ci.
I was checking out the leftover '05 330Ci convertibles.. Most MSRP for $49K, and that is very well equipped.. There are also quite a few at $53K, and those have the performance package...
But, where the price becomes competitive with the Saabs and Volvos is through leasing...
This month, on leftover '05 330Cic... The money factor is only .001, the residual is 63% for 3yr/36K, and BMW is giving the dealer $2000 on every one sold..
You could lease that $49K BMW 330Ci convertible for $550/mo. with just the minimal upfront costs.. That is what Saab and Volvo will have a hard time matching..
Of course, the cash buyer could care less about this..
