Volvo has taken the Mercedes SL/Cadillac {{{XLR}}} retractable hardtop concept to new places. First, it brings the flexibility and convenience of this design to a much lower price point than those expensive roadsters. And it's among the first one to package a retractable hardtop with four seats (the other being the VW Eos). The "70" moniker is a bit of puffery; it's based on the same platform as the S40 sedan, but that's no bad thing. Pininfarina helped engineer the top system, but the look was designed in house by Volvo. The C70 will be on the market by spring.
Bottom Line: The all-weather four-seat convertible is here.
