This fabulous Volvo convertible was originally delivered in Sweden with the best of both Europe and US equipment and features. It is the "Tourist and Diplomat" model. Compared with the regular US spec C70 it has more leather, a significantly more powerful engine, better handling suspension, more power seat adjustments on both front seats, front and rear fog lamps, windshield washers and wipers on the headlights, Wood trim on the steering wheel, etc. This is the top of the top version.
Always garaged. Never smoked in. It spent it's first summer in Europe and the remainder of its life in California. This car has been respectfully driven and dealer maintained with genuine Volvo parts since new. All common C70 issues have been permanently dealt with. The clutch, throttle body, AC compressor and motor mounts have all been replaced with improved units. Convertible top was replaced with a genuine Volvo top in 2009. Windshield was replaced in 2008. Tires are nearly new Yokahama Y rated S-Drives for great handling and a quiet ride. Wheels are straight and clean. One wheel was replaced after hitting a piece of debris in in the road. It's a perfect match. Original paint is in very good condition, with a few small blemishes here and there, for example scratches on the underside air dam.. Nothing serious. No rust, body damage or body work. Engine runs smoothly, pulls strong and uses no oil. Transmission shifts smoothly. The brakes are nearly new. AC blows cold. Everything works. Leather seats have some minor age checking but are still solid and very comfortable. No holes or tears. The factory upgraded surround sound system sounds awesome, and automatically adjusts settings when the top is down. Volvo didn't offer Bluetooth in 2000, but I'll include the after-market Bluetooth adapter I have been using for the last several years. It allows hands-free calling and you can play Pandora from your smart-phone through that fabulous stereo.
This is a super example of a great performance luxury convertible. Fun to drive, comfortable and great looking. There's even room for full size adults in the back seats. Look at the pictures.
I hate to see her go but we have another addition coming to the household and a 4 passenger car just won't cut it anymore.

Tony Nicolosi confirmed as Volvo's North American CEO
Tue, 14 Jan 2014This past October, John Maloney stepped down from his post as CEO at Volvo Cars North America. In his place, the Swedish automaker tentatively promoted Tony Nicolosi, who had until then served as head of Volvo Car Financial Services. The appointment was reportedly temporary, giving Nicolosi the title of acting CEO. But according to Automotive News, his position has now been confirmed for the long run.
Although Volvo has yet to announce a new director for its financial arm, Nicolosi says they have found the right person and will announce sometime between now and the National Automobile Dealers Association convention, set to take place later this month in New Orleans.
Last month, Volvo also announced that its global communications chief Bodil Eriksson is moving from the home office in Gothenburg to the North American office in Rockleigh, New Jersey. Anders Kärrberg has been promoted from the government affairs post to take Eriksson's place.
2015 Volvo S60 T6 Drive-E
Wed, 23 Apr 2014For those not paying attention, Volvo has updated its S60 sedan range for 2015 with a new range of engines under the Drive-E label. Wearing the same T5 and T6 badges to note the relative levels of power under the hood, both engines are 2.0-liter four-cylinders, with the lesser being turbocharged and the greater being both supercharged and turbocharged.
Both Drive-E variants are currently only available in front-wheel-drive flavor, though Volvo will still happily sell you an S60 T5 AWD with the older 2.5-liter turbo five-cylinder, or a top-of-the-line S60 T6 with a turbo'd 3.0-liter six-cylinder and all the wheels turning.
The car I drove for a week is perhaps the most balanced version of the S60 range, with that exotic sounding twin-charged 2.0-liter mill planted happily in the attractively sloping nose. Provided you're not hung up on front-drive dynamics, the T6 Drive-E might be a solid candidate for your next premium small sedan shopping list, as well.
Honda Civic, Volvo XC90 named 2016 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year
Mon, Jan 11 2016It's a great day to be the Honda Civic and Volvo XC90. These cars are the official 2016 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year, with the awards just having been announced at the Detroit Auto Show. The Civic is a great car, and a fantastic entry in the compact class. To us, its win isn't a surprise, though our enthusiast hearts were really rooting for the runner-up Mazda MX-5 Miata. The new Chevy Malibu was also a finalist for this year's award. As for the Truck/Utility award, we wholeheartedly agree with the Volvo XC90 choice. It's a fantastic-looking, premium, tech-forward vehicle, and represents a huge step forward for Volvo here in the United States. But its runners-up, the Nissan Titan XD and Honda Pilot, are also great choices, bringing a lot of stiff competition to some pretty important segments. Here's how the jury voted: Car of the Year Honda Civic – 203 points Chevy Malibu – 181 points Mazda MX-5 Miata – 146 points Truck/Utility of the Year Volvo XC90 – 310 points Honda Pilot – 111 points Nissan Titan XD – 109 points
