Porsche Design Suitcases

Ft. Myers Volvo C70 fan? Than the 2011 C30 is sure to delight as well

Here comes a parade of small cars. It's the U.S. automotive market, and small cars are really beginning to dominate the scene. We've finally pried our grubby little fingers off of our oily, gas-guzzling beasts and are beginning to embrace the benefits of small cars like the ones offered at Ft. Myers Volvo C70 dealers across the area. We're definitely following Europe's lead on this one, where the small car aesthetic caught on years ago. In the U.S., it's just really beginning to spice up, and some of the new cars you'll find at new and used Ft. Myers XC90 dealers are sure to please even the pickiest of drivers.

For 2011, the Volvo C30 T5 R-Design is a pleasing member of the Volvo family, sticking true to old Volvo ads touting that the car isn't "your Uncle Olaf's Volvo." Ft. Myers Volvo C70 enthusiasts are sure to enjoy the benefits of sitting behind the wheel of the new C30, which sits just below the S40 sedan and the V50 wagon. The price point of the new C30 seems to put it in a class all its own, with nearest contenders like the Mini Cooper S weighing in more retro-cool and the VW GTI exuding sportiness. The new sport suspension option, a redesigned front fascia and a mild shake-up of the lineup are all the new features which C30 shoppers can enjoy at new and used Ft. Myers XC90 dealers.

And the cargo area is practical, too, with a little shifting around. According to a recent review of the 2011 Volvo C30 T5 R-Design by Left Lane News, "The C30's rear seat seems inspired by the Porsche 911 – not really a trait automakers should look to copy. Best for kids, the two bucket-like seats can hold adults for really, really short trips. Like to the end of the driveway. At least they fold mostly flat to make the none-too-big cargo area more useful. The C30 can pack more baggage than the Mini Cooper can, but it's not quite as commodious as the GTI. The shallow cargo area can really only hold one large suitcase, limiting the hatchback's long trip usefulness – a shame given its impressive roadability."

A lot of critics called the prior C30 design "stodgy," but the new C30 model features a curvaceous nose with swept back headlamps that make the car appear more aggressive and a pretty good looking honeycomb grille. These design features help C30 vehicles stand out at Ft. Myers Volvo C70 dealerships across the area. With a conservative looking side profile, the C30 accomplishes what it sets out to do as a small car. New and used Ft. Myers XC90 dealers are lucky to have such a car to showcase on showroom floors.

With the shifting dynamic of the industry, it's great to see manufacturers like Volvo keeping up with some of the major players in terms of market desire. We'll continue keeping our eye on some of the traditionally smaller automakers to see which ones are making the power grab.
