![Volvo's C70 convertible gets a facelift, and we pull off the gauze to reveal it. By <a href="http://sharpformen.com/author/staff-writer/">Staff Writer</a><div id='nr_fo_top_of_post'></div><p><strong> In the 1990 movie </strong><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0099316/" onclick="javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackEvent','outbound-article','http://www.imdb.com']);"><strong>Crazy People</strong></a><strong>, Dudley Moore, an advertising executive, has a mental breakdown.</strong> Whilst crazy, he comes up with a new slogan, something that may have made Volvo buyers cringe – “Buy Volvo: They’re Boxy But Good.”</p>
<p>The new 2011 Volvo C70 is still good, but it isn’t so boxy anymore. The new 2011 Volvo C70 convertible will have a redesigned facelift and front, looking like it and the <a href="http://www.volvocanada.com/NewsAndEvents/NewS60Intro.aspx?lng=2" onclick="javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackEvent','outbound-article','http://www.volvocanada.com']);">S60 Concept Car</a> spent too many lonely nights together drinking sangria. The face will have a larger iron mark, larger air intake, with sweeping headlights, all set to look like a big “V.” And in the back, there’s the addition of LED headlights, a reshaped bumper, and a bigger “Volvo” badge on the deck of the trunk.</p>
<p>While we know that there will be these new front and rear changes, along with a slightly redesigned interior with a new instrument panel, we don’t know the pricing or the exact launch date, although it will drop in Canada during the first half of 2010. Under the hood, it’ll have a 227 hp engine and a 6-speed automatic transmission. The new car will be introduced at the <a href="http://www.iaa.de/" onclick="javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackEvent','outbound-article','http://www.iaa.de']);">Frankfurt Motor Show</a> on September 15th. There, we’ll see how the Swedes really handle their hardtops.</p>
