Talk:Volvo C70

Ford Motor Company

All Volvos have been manufactured by the Ford Motor Company since Ford's acquisition of Volvo in 1998. This is simply fact. So what is the dispute here? And furthermore, why is this dispute taking place on the C70 page specifically? Also, Pininfarina was a designer of the C70, not its manufacturer. Jagvar 03:35, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

See the Pininfarina Sverige part of the Pininfarina article. --Dahlis 16:49, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Actually, even though Ford owns Volvo, there is still a lot of "pre-Ford" Volvo manufacturing content in most Volvo models. The basic platforms are from Ford, although even there, there has been shared design input from Ford, Volvo, and others in the family (e.g. Mazda).

In the case of the 2006+ C70, the platform is Ford's C1, designed jointly by Ford of Europe, Volvo, and Mazda, and used on current Volvo (S40, V50, C30) and Mazda models (Mazda 3 and 5), as well as the European Ford Focus (but not the US Ford Focus). The engines are Volvo designs that go back to pre-Ford days, and are manufactured in Sweden. The automatic transmission for the C70 is made in Japan. Car assembly is done at the Uddevalla (spelling?) plant in Sweden, which is 60% owned by Pininfarina, and 40% by Volvo. I believe that the C70 is the only car made at this plant, using a process that is more "hand-built" / "team-built", rather than a traditional assembly line. In terms of Pininfarina's involvement, most of the articles that I have read have said that Pininfarina had little design involvement, at least not in the styling, which was done by Volvo's John Kinsey. They may have contributed to the engineering of the retractable roof, and of course are co-owners of the C70's manufacturing plant. Rschleicher 22:52, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

cabriolte

  A 2.3L high pressure turbo is in a model known as a "cabriolte". A 2.4L low pressure turbo is a "cabrolet". Where is this differance of information hiding? 71.114.216.32 14:03, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

The C70 is offered with a normally-aspirated gasoline engine with variable geometry turbocharger and common-rail direct injection.

Who wrote this garbage? It doesn't make any sense. Normally aspirated means NO FORCED INDUCTION (Turbo/supercharger). So it can't be both. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Andylenehan (talk • contribs) 20:43, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

Advertising of Owners Clubs

Basically please don't because they would be considered biased and can't be included in the article. It would even be better to add unsourced material than that from an Owners club since someone else can confirm it from another source and improve the article with it.

I need help with the chronology

I understand that the C70 was the 780's successor and I tried to add that but my edit isn't showing up. I would like for someone else to help me with that.--Kevjgav (talk) 00:49, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

Never mind, i think I got it. I meant for this to be a good edit, but if it gets reverted, I understand.--Kevjgav (talk) 00:52, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

Added chronology-consistent with "Volvo 780" and "Volvo 262C"

I hope all of you understand that my intentions are good. I added the chronology to make this article consistent with Volvo 780 and Volvo 262C, but if my edit is reverted, I understand.--Kevjgav (talk) 00:59, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

Incorrect production numbers for 1st gens

Under the 1st generation convertible article there is a reference stating 'Of the 72,000 first generation C70s produced worldwide only 603 had the 2.3 liter engine with high pressure turbo (T5) and the M56 5-speed manual transmission. Only 135 of the C70 T5M coupes made it to the US market.' I checked this source (referenced as [26]) and it actually states that these number are from 98-02 only - not all first gens which were produced from 96-05 - and also ONLY refers to the coupes excluding convertibles. Therefore the above statement is incorrect. Here is the actual data from the source: "USA: ... C70: Coupes: 135 T5M across 98-02 / 603 worldwide; Verts: ?"
