The 2011 Volvo C70 exchangeable comes onto the market with bright new styling but maintains its sophisticated folding hard-top, providing owners with a coupe body and all the benefits that come with it when the top’s up and the joys of the sun and the wind in their hair once it’s lowered.The 2011 Volvo C70 boasts a retractable hardtop, a luxurious interior and a smooth ride, though its middling performance means some competitors will leave it behind.In the performance area the Volvo C70 can hold its own. Every C70 has a turbocharged inline 5-cylinder that produces 227 horsepower at 5000 rpm and 236 foot pounds of torque at a very low 1500 rpm. Volvo is well known for their turbocharged powerplants, which is something some other manufacturers are starting to explore again. The suspension is somewhat soft for the C70’s size although very manageable in the turns with the typical expected amount of understeer from a front-wheel drive setup.
