Spotted in storage at a secret location....

It actually doesn't look too bad in the flesh.......

Yep, it looks real good! I think Volvo is one of the few car manufacters that still manages to make good looking cars these days. Some other brands are going a bit too far with their design and the cars finally turn out not so nice. But for Volvo, thumbs up

Not bad. I like it but it doesn't shout, quick, pay £20k for me now!

my plan is to get a C70 when they are old and cheap enough to restore

with megasquirt there isnt a prob having a car with an ECU as you can replace the cars original one if it dies....

However, from the S80 onwards, the melutiplex cars offer a challenge though... dunno how to make those live forever... the XC90 has 5 computer onboard!!

Hmm, looks like BMW from front, BMW looks ugly, can't say I like how this car looks, also FWD no no, they still don't know how to make nice looking car that interests me, F*** has done nice Mustang, though. Maybe F*** should make premium version of Mustang, Volvo C100, eh?

That new C70 has really long trunk

It doesnt look like coupe, it looks like 2door sedan.
I dont like also these new Volvos because they are ugly to me,except S60..Volvo didnt do any Cars since 900-series because my opinion is that Real Volvos are RWD

Well..if i can get a new Volvo for free, i can take it but i would`nt buy it

..except S60

Damn nice car that is - and it's actually good this time - unlike the old C70 which couldn't touch it's rivals.

I have an Autoexpress test of the new C70 vs Audi A4 vs Saab 9-3 convertibles... the C70 wins

I agree, there seems to be a trend in the yanks for retro design right now. Anyone seen the new Dodge Challenger and Chevy Camaro concept cars? Both fully tasty cars, by my reckoning. I only hope the whole retro design thing doesn't get too popular, because if everyone has a go they could easily all start to look the same as each other again!

Having said that, I wonder if we could persuade Volvo to launch a new 300 in a retro design? Time to get amongst photoshop, methinks...

Cheers
