While the C30 three-door hatchback has disappeared from Volvo’s European lineup of cars, it has been kept on sale in the US. However, it seems that there too, it will be phased out in December.
According to the source, with around 4,500 units sold per year in the US, "C30 successfully achieved its goal to attract new customers to the Volvo brand, pulling a high percentage of customers from brands like Mini, Mazda and Volkswagen.” Volvo also needs more high-volume products for the US market, and the decision to discontinue the C30 was made in order to better-position the Swedish brand for the arrival of new models.

This leaves the S60, S80, XC60, XC70 and the XC90 in the US lineup, as well as the C70 convertible, which will also be phased out in the early part of next year. The new V40 and V40 Cross Country are apparently not coming to the US, while other new models have yet to be announced.
