Volvo C30
Designed by Quebec’s own Simon Lamarre, the smallest Volvo has a modified front end for 2011. The C30’s original and charming lines are still present, but now they’re even better. The chassis has also been changed and the 2.4-litre engine is gone. So, now there’s just the 2.5-litre turbocharged engine that delivers 227 hp and 236 lbs-ft of torque. It may be small, but Volvo didn’t skimp on safety. It comes only in front-wheel drive.
