Hans-Olov Olsson, the CEO and President of Volvo Cars exclaims,’We’ve succeeded in creating an interesting convertible which, at the mere touch of a button, converts into a similarly sublime coupe. The purchaser gets two vehicles in one. Both with space for four adults. Our all new C70 is one of the first open top cars in the premium segment with both a steel roof and space for 4 adults. We suspect this is a highly sought-after combo. That’s why we are expecting to more than double our sales compared to the 1st generation C70.’.
