Volvo C30
The small C30 Volvo, designed by Quebecer Simon Lamarre, is not having the expected success. It is possibly because it accommodates four passengers rather than five. Yet, the C30’s interior is spacious. And its T5 version is particularly well endowed. For 2010, Volvo has revised its versions so as to ease the buying process. The R-Design options package is available with 18-inch wheels and sports-style elements. Note that a new front grille will adorn the C30 in 2011.
