Volvo C30 2009 Model car
The 2009 Volvo C30 adds two new trim levels, the C30 T5 replaces C30 Version 1.0 and the C30 T5 R-Design replaces C30 Version 2.0 in the C30 lineup. The C30 T5 includes Volvo rear badge lettering that is spread further apart, rear-seat seatbelt reminder, Bluetooth hands-free phone interface as a stand-alone option and custom build Savile Grey exterior replaces Flint Grey. The C30 T5 also offers a new
Preferred Package that includes power driver’s seat, front fog lights, trip computer, leather parking brake cover, Keyless Drive and Dynaudio sound system. The C30 T5 R-Design includes R-Design aluminum inlays, embossed upholstery logo, watch dial instrument cluster, R-Design grille with matte silver surround, sport steering wheel and sport pedals. The T5 R-Design also features matte silver outside mirrors, high-performance audio system and 17-inch Serapis wheels as a no-cost option. A new Preferred Package for T5 R-Design includes power driver's seat, front fog lights, trip computer, leather parking brake cover, Keyless Drive and Dynaudio sound system.

Volvo officially introduced its revised C70 convertible earlier today at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Though almost identical to the outgoing model mechanically, the revised C70 features a new, more dramatic look outside and some revisions to the interior.

The 2010 Volvo XC60 is the Swedish car company's first foray into the compact crossover segment—the same niche that includes the BMW X3, Land Rover LR2, Acura RDX, and Infiniti EX35. Happily, the Volvo entry is one of the handsomest of the bunch, comes standard with all-wheel drive and surprising off-road specs, and adds to the brand's reputation for safety with a new twist.

We've generally been pretty high on the Volvo S40. It has consistently offered cutting-edge design, reassuring safety and a premium feel for many thousands less than perennial sport-sedan all-stars like the Audi A4, BMW 3 Series and Infiniti G35. But the 2009 Volvo S40 no longer offers the impressive value it used to -- the base price of the entry-level 2.4i has risen by more than $4,000 to roughly what the turbocharged T5 model cost last year. As for this year's T5, now known as the T5 R-Design, its base price has ballooned to $32,350, which pits it squarely against the aforementioned all-stars.
