Volvo readies sporty C50 convertible - - Source: englewoodvolvo.com
***Pics above are probably renderings***
Ford's Swedish (or "Sweeeeee-dish" to you Tom Green fans) subsidiary Volvo is readying a third model on the C1 global compact platform -- a new coupe/convertible with a retractable hardtop that will be called C50. The sporty two-door, which will be unveiled this fall at the Paris Auto Show, joins the S40 sedan and the V50 wagon in Volvo's small-car lineup for the coming year.
The C50 will come with a choice of five-cylinder engines, like its siblings, and will offer a four-wheel-drive option when it arrives in showrooms next year, probably as a 2006 model.
Although it's considerably smaller, the C50 will replace the C70 in Volvo's stable.

Plus they were ancient! No changes since the 1st Gen CL came out. Thats a freakin' long time!

If a loaded V40 T5 6-speed is $41k then I can't see any reason this isn't in the same price range ...
I'm sorry but I do not think a Volvo S40/V40/C50 is in the same league as a BMW 3-series. Just ain't happening ...

wayyy too lame. the headlights, grille, hood, tails, are ALL the same as the other volvo cars.
someone just rummaged through a Volvo parts bin. why couldnt they spruce this baby up a bit? but i guess this explains the steadiness of volvos marketing scheme.
personally, i think the C70 was WAY hotter, and the hood on this baby looks like a damn boat
