Just bought my first Volvo last week. 2011 C70, Ember Black Metallic w/Calcite. Coming out of a 2004 Cadillac CTS-V w/Magnacharger so I feel like my right foot fell off. Car is primarily for the wife and I plan on getting a gen II CTS-V in the not too distant future. We are enjoying the car. I really wanted the gloss black because I am not a fan of metallic paint and the Ember looks chocolate under lights but I wanted to leave with a car that day so I did. I LOVE the seats in this car and the center console is growing on me but I do wish an affordable nav system was available.

Looking forward to the info available here and hope I can hold off from entering Mod Hell for at least a few months.

First, I have to say, I am jealous. The 2011 C70 is such a great car. I would have loved to have seen the CTS-V. That car must have been a rocket.

Anyway, welcome to the forum. If you have any pictures of either car, post them up when you get a chance.

Welcome to the forum. I would give just about anything for a C70.
