Huh? You mean the one that you have to pitch like a tent? I'll take the Miata's soft top any day. Even though I wasn't supposed to, I'd frequently put it up and down while driving. On the highway. Yeah, I'm a bad person...but that's one good convertible top.]]>Jan 11th 2006 7:51PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/01/11/video-volvo-c30-s-origami-hardtop/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/01/11/video-volvo-c30-s-origami-hardtop/Jan 12th 2006 12:00AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/01/11/video-volvo-c30-s-origami-hardtop/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/01/11/video-volvo-c30-s-origami-hardtop/Jan 12th 2006 6:35AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/01/11/video-volvo-c30-s-origami-hardtop/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/01/11/video-volvo-c30-s-origami-hardtop/Jan 12th 2006 8:39AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/01/11/video-volvo-c30-s-origami-hardtop/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/01/11/video-volvo-c30-s-origami-hardtop/


Rattles are not my biggest concern, however. A rear "fender bender" with the top down could very quickly become a $7K-$9K repair - or more.]]>Jan 12th 2006 12:03PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/01/11/video-volvo-c30-s-origami-hardtop/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/01/11/video-volvo-c30-s-origami-hardtop/
This is stupid and a waste of bandwidth!]]>Jan 12th 2006 5:33PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/01/11/video-volvo-c30-s-origami-hardtop/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/01/11/video-volvo-c30-s-origami-hardtop/


"This is stupid and a waste of bandwidth!"



I could not make a better assessment of your post.



Having worked with Volvo in the sales end in the past, certainly there may be problems with the first generation, but you can say that for any new product.



However, I have no doubt they will get it right sooner rather than later.]]>Jan 13th 2006 10:30AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/01/11/video-volvo-c30-s-origami-hardtop/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/01/11/video-volvo-c30-s-origami-hardtop/Jan 17th 2006 3:54PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/01/11/video-volvo-c30-s-origami-hardtop/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/01/11/video-volvo-c30-s-origami-hardtop/Jan 18th 2006 6:25PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/01/11/video-volvo-c30-s-origami-hardtop/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/01/11/video-volvo-c30-s-origami-hardtop/
I am having trouble choosing between the Volvo C70, Saab 9-3 Aero Cabrio, or BMW 330CiC.

All 3 vehicles are about the same price (when options are equalized). I really like the concept of a hardtop convertible that has back seats, but I too am worried about getting the Volvo b/c (1) 1st model year, (2) possible expensive repairs on hardtop, and (3) Volvo's T5 engine can't match the Saab turbo or BMW 6 cylinder.

All 3 cars are well-designed, safe & classy vehicles, but I don't want to be kicking myself in 5 years, hence my dismay over this decision.

I haven't driven the Volvo yet (and can't as I'm buying the car through their military sales program), but I can confirm that the Saab & BWM are excellent cars in almost every respect.

Anyone have any words of wisdom?]]>Jan 31st 2006 8:12AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/01/11/video-volvo-c30-s-origami-hardtop/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/01/11/video-volvo-c30-s-origami-hardtop/
Save yourself the heartache.]]>Mar 12th 2006 1:29PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/01/11/video-volvo-c30-s-origami-hardtop/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/01/11/video-volvo-c30-s-origami-hardtop/
I do think Volvo is a sub Co. of Ford now. Could be wrong. Now lets see what Japan will have on the shelf next. wake up Honda and Toyota...All you guys have is a Scion XB box?

Now thinkg about how cool your new Jeep would be with this than the soft top.

All I can say is that is one cool car.]]>Apr 7th 2006 12:29PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/01/11/video-volvo-c30-s-origami-hardtop/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/01/11/video-volvo-c30-s-origami-hardtop/I also own a '05 Volvo V50 which is built on simliar platform as the new C70 and I'm impressed with it. I look forward to a test drive soon on the new C70.]]>Apr 15th 2006 7:07PM
