It is a crappy photo, but then spy photos are typically like that; have to take the shot when the opportunity presents itself.

I will always love the first C70 more than whatever they can come up with. The coupe has the looks of a CLK from the rear.

All the fake folding hardtop photos of the C40 were just photoshop'd combinations of the SLK with an S40 front end on it.

Yeah, I figured. Photos don't look too legit. Even then, some people are so good at photoshop that you can never tell the difference.

The reason I thought the folding hardtop photo was fake was because the top was just too small. It works for a two seater like the SLK, but I wouldn't want to be a rear seat passenger in a C40 with a top like that.
There is a better picture located here.

I was refering to the folding hardtop picture. The one you are showing looks real.
Edit:
Acctually looking closer, that might not be real. Look at the direction of the sunlight on the car, then the light on the two people in the car.

ok good point. i actually just realized that those aren't the typical volvo headrests either. Looks like they're out of a benz.

That pic makes it look decent. I always hate the spy pics where they have the panels on the body. Also, that is not a picture of the Sebring. They have similar wheels, but not the same. I counted; the Volvo wheel has 13 spokes and the Sebring wheel has 15.

As a connoisseur of fine C70s, I'm going to reserve judgment until better photos are available.

The reason we might think it looks like a Sebring is obviously the wheels. I mean come on, they're the same dayum wheels. 
It's the same from the front wheels back... Trunk, taillights... all of it!

The wheels are different. Also the hood and the headrests are distinctly Volvo.

The wheels are only vaguely different. Same overall 'emotion'.
That's like saying Titans and Pegs are different. They are, but only just barely.
Let's just say that the new C and the old Sebring aren't different enough for me.
not that I'd ever buy either...
They aren't wagons!

Maybe, I don't think I have seen that. Even M/T it will look similar to that, but that that isn't the real car.
