(Irvine, CA) - Fresh from their global unveiling at the recent Frankfurt Motor Show, the new 2011 Volvo C30 and C70 are making their North American premier at the 39th annual South Florida International Auto Show today. The cars are set to arrive in Volvo retailers during the first quarter of 2010.


The South Florida International Auto Show comes just weeks following the global unveil of the exciting 2011 C30 and C70 at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September. Both cars have undergone significant styling enhancements on the outside and a number of interior upgrades as well. "We're confident these improvements will continue to attract new buyers to the Volvo brand," said Doug Speck, President and CEO of Volvo Cars of North America, LLC (VCNA).

"In a city like Miami, a convertible such as the Volvo C70 is almost a given," continued Speck, "But the C30, with its completely new look, is the kind of car that causes jaws to drop and heads to turn." Final pricing for each car has not yet been announced. VCNA plans to announce pricing closer to the vehicles' availability at Volvo retailers.

2011 Volvo C30
When the C30 landed in the U.S. in 2007, it ushered in a bold new design language for Volvo, particularly from the rear. But up front it was sometimes difficult to determine the difference between the C30 and an S40. For 2011 that's no longer an issue. Reminiscent of the 2010 Volvo XC60, the new C30 ushers in an aggressive new face that is far more suited to the dynamic rear lines of this trend-setting sport coupe.

The 2011 C30 has a radical new front appearance that incorporates a new hood, fenders, trapezoidal headlights and a lower front valance. In the middle of the grille is the new, larger iron mark that made its debut on the XC60. The air intake has also grown in size and the C30 gets a unique grille.
