New C70

[After_Shock]

Unfortunately theirs no info on the weights of the cars yet but its the same size as the current car, the chassis should be lighter but it will have more safety stuff built in so who knows!

Dave at our garage we have at least 15 that come in, and thats what ive seen in 9 weeks, had a lovely black V70 R in yesterday, 18' graphite alloys and tinted windows, very pimp!

I think that it looks unbalanced. Not enough bonnet and too much booty. Looks quite nice with roof on, but not with it off.

Sorry chaps I honestly think the present C70 is nicer looking.

Wait till you see it, the pics dont do it justice it is one lovely looking motor in real life, its also as wide as an S80 so its actually a surprisingly big car.

The handling is absolutely excellent aswell, the big back end is for the rear seat space and also for the new roof to fit in it also helps the weight distribution.

One amusing thing is that the car handles better with the roof down as puts more of the weight in the back end and also lowers the centre of gravity.

How do you know this have you driven it? Normally its the other way round as the shell is stiffer with roof up.

Yeah I drove it a couple of weeks back, the car is extremely stiff with the roof down and has no scuttle shake at all, regardless of how hard its pushed. One good thing with all this safety kit on the cars they are made much stiffer.

It was the proffessional drivers that where their on the day who had the roofs down on their cars even though the wind chill factor was about -10! They said it handled much better with the roof down due to the lower centre of gravity and better weight distribution, obviously putting the rood up adds some extra stiffness but the car really doesnt need it.

Scuttle shake was a bit of a problem on my old 306 convertible, fine with teh roof up and pretty sturdy with it down but any large bumps and it would shake.

Still love to get my hands on a new C70 though
