On November 20, the latest installment in the Twilight Saga will debut in theaters, which could spur sales of used C30s in New Jersey and elsewhere.
TopSpeed.com says that two Volvos are featured in New Moon: the C30 and the XC60. The C30 went on sale in the U.S. in late 2007, and came equipped with an in-line five-cylinder turbocharged engine that produced over 215 horsepower. The six-speed manual transmission was one of this car’s most attractive features, as cruising on the highway in the highest gear possible is often a good way to increase fuel economy and most cars only have five speeds.
The C30 was also featured in the first Twilight, which was released in November of 2008. This vehicle is considered a compact, according to Car and Driver, but that doesn’t mean it’s an econobox. The 2007 model sold for about $24,000 and came with a sound system that included Alpine audio components.
The Twilight Saga will continue giving Volvo exposure in its upcoming installment New Moon, which could boost sales of used C30s in New Jersey.
