saab Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 Volvo have now put out some proper pictures of the new C70 - looks rather nice - the old one IMHO was a pretty car, but a little bit "footballers wives" for my taste and very dated looking nowadays. It will be launched at the Frankfurt show in Spetember and on sale early 06. The new car has a three piece retractable hard top which I personally think looks better up than down. No surprises with the 5 cylinder engines and a diesel will be along later. No idea of prices yet list for the current model about £30k max so around that I would have thought. Any thoughts??

CarMad Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 Looks nice. They have used the look of the S40/V50 which is a good thing. So I presume it might be a little smaller than the old one. But thats no bad thing as it was a bit on the huge side really. A nice warbling 5 cylinder and that could be a great cab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewNiceMrMe Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 I always used to like the C70, especially in T5 guise. This one, well it's even better looking. The old C70 is a lovely looking car for very little money. A guy I know bought one for his wife and she said "We can't afford this!" - and then he showed her the invoice! Staggering value. The only criticism motor experts use to regularly throw at it was to say it's ride was too wallowly and the T5 didn't handle well at all for what it was meant to do. If they've sorted that, then I'd say we'll see a lot more of them on the roads. If I had one fault with the look I'd say the front looks a bit high, but the picture could be deceptive.

beez Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 How cheap are we talking for old C70s, M3Me? Given it a quick scan on autotrader and fish4 but there's nothing at all in the 0 - 2000 boundry. I assume I'm just being a bit foolish thinking they'd be that cheap? Or are they called T5?

Mook Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 That's one big effing roof when it's up. Have another look at it and then have a look at the first pic. How the feck does all that roof go in the boot..? Or maybe that's the compromise. Great looking car but no room in the boot. I'd still have one though.

RossG Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 Love the look of that Passed an estate one yesterday - big wheels etc - and remarked that I really like that as well. Good looking family of cars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a4tdi130 Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 Now that is a lovely looking car. I can see a lot of B6 Cab owners moving to one of those instead of a B7 - I certainly would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ari Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 That does indeed look great! Not so sure about that funny stick poking out of the rear wing though, it looks a bit like those radio aerials that cars used to have in the olden days!

Chav Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 Can someone find any more pics? also more of the interior. I really like it. the old C70 has a very crap interior though, so it will have to have come on in leaps and bounds to feel as cosy as the audi cab. volvo have better sound systems though. but for me, a hard roof cab would be ideal. would have to test drive first though, as can't work out if the windscreen is really deep and would interfere with driving position/feel of open air driving too much or not from those pics. But externally, those new C70 shots look fantastic. hmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chav Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 Why not? Audi, BMW and Merc are all common as muck, and I bought the audis because I really liked them in any case, no other reason. Am happy with current cab at present, but if the interior of that C70 looks as good as the outside, then could well be tempted. They all cost around the same, so makes no difference really.

Paul Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 I liked the C70 when it was first shown in the Val Kilmer version of The Saint. It was that burnt orangy colour. Always liked the look of them, but never got around to owning one. im glad its just got even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
