Volvo has unveiled the new C70 convertible here in Frankfurt and the 2010 model looks much sportier than the outgoing model. However, we have one bone to pick with the C70 as a whole. The current model is priced at $40,000, which we feel is way too much considering shoppers in the market have better options. Volvo has yet to announced any pricing details on the 2010 C70.

Oh, one more thing, taking down and putting up the roof takes 30 seconds, which is way to long for any convertible these days.

Follow through for the high-res gallery.

    Safest convertible? Why would anyone want that?

    A convertible should be like a roller coaster ride, a 90 mph blast down the 405 on a Ducati or a raft trip on a class V white water course. Would you want to play it safe and only have missionary position sex with Pamela Anderson?

    Safe is living large with Mother Teresa.

    With this statement Volvo lays claim to be the auto manufacturer that gets aroused by the sight of a crash dummy.
