Hello, I don’t want to bore you now with the xth IAA report or with photos. I would be interested, however, if it was similar to others with Volvo. As Sweden friends we of course also looked at the Volvo stand. Besides the “normal suspects” there was as novelty the C70. First O-tone of my wife: With Volvo all cars look the same. In the closer exploration of the car I was then quite disappointed. My wife is completely right. Also there is no beautiful Coupe line more. The elegance of the old C70 coupe has completely disappeared. Obviously, due to the technical conditions, a folding roof can never form a beautiful Coupe line. Closed it looks simply too “eggy”. Due to the base S40/V50 the car also has a rather short bonnet, which makes the car in particular open look rather unshaped. The proportions are somehow not right. I find it annoying that the basic type is the S40/V50, the Wa The C70 is in particular against CLK, 3 Series convertible and, of course, 9-3 Convertible. The prices are supposed to be at Saab level. That’s what I think is a bit too expensive. It would have been honest for Volvo to call the car C50 and to make the car a little cheaper. Overall, I’m quite disappointed by the C70. The elegance has been completely lost by the folding roof and the base. Do you think of the new C70? I will miss the old one! Greetings Celeste
