Volvo C30 Car
Volvo unveiled its new Design Concept Car, the C30 at the Paris Motor Show and announced its availability soon to the US market. The Volvo C30 is targeted at a wider demographic as its new improved design and frameless glass tailgate carries an universal appeal.
The new C30 carries forward the Volvo legacy and is powered by a turbocharged inline five-cylinder engine and is capable of 218 hp at 5,000 rpm. The C30 sweet spot is its optional Premium Sound system which includes a digital 5x130W ICE Power amplifier from Alpine(R), Dolby(R) Pro Logic II Surround, and 10 loudspeakers from Danish loudspeaker manufacturer Dynaudio. The C30 will be available in the US soon but no word on pricing. For more info visit the C30 website
