For some reason the C70 was never marketed verymuch,and it was overpriced at launch. I think Volvo should not be surprised that demand therefore was not very heavby. Plus, they were a high performance cruiser, not a handler. ANd the convertible had problems at launch and a jiggly ride and both models suffered from torque steer under hard throttle. Basically a car that did not know what it was. Too bad, because it was a lovely fast cruiser, our 01 got bought back as a lemon law car but it was one comfortable, sweet handling and economical (an honest 30 mpg) mid to full size car. I never understood why Volvo botched the pricing and marketing of the car.
