New-Car Pricing: 2011 Volvo C70 Retractable Hardtop

Volvo’s hardtop convertible, the 2011 C70, will be costing buyers a minimum of $39,950 ($40,800 with $850 destination charge) when it goes on sale later this year.  According to Volvo, the new base price is a savings of $4,000 over similarly-equipped 2010 C70s, with more standard features, such as leather seating and SIRIUS satellite radio.  With a slightly-redesigned exterior, and new materials (especially leather, called “Sovereign Hides”) used to create the interior, the C70 presents a compelling option for lovers of convertibles who want the quiet of a coupe (with the top up, of course), and don’t want to spend a ton of money.
