3rd Gear: Volvo Is Killing The C30

Motor Trend says Volvo has confirmed plans to kill the C30, the small hatchback that helped the company revive its brand image in the United States. Now, however, Volvo says it must revamp its lineup "to better position Volvo for the future and the next stages of our model portfolio."

The C30 debuted in 2007, and it was a distinctly non-square Volvo. There was a lot of influence from Ford of Europe, and it appealed to a younger demographic. You might even say it looked a little futuristic, at least in a Volvo context. But C30 never sold very well, partly because of its price: the entry level car starts at $26,395, and the top of the line car tops $33,000. So, wave goodbye to C30 after this model year and if you own one, you have a souvenir of the days when Ford considered Volvo its ticket to luxury market dominance.

[killing of C30]

Obviously it's high price combined with brand stigma in their target audience is a difficult thing to overcome, but is it also possible that because it is a lot of Ford parts that the new owner doesn't want to be buying parts from their competitor?
