Supercharged

Smaller V60? Will the V40 be even smaller than the V50?

 

it's a hatchback and 1-series and A3 competitor,

not a stationwagon, so def smaller...

Read in ST the other day that this will be the 1st Volvo in their making with air bags for pedestrian =) It is between the windscreen and bonnet... active when is travelling 20-50 kmh, air bag will deploy to reduce pedestrian injury... haha.. dunno how much it helps and how many times they tested it... with real humans... :P

Hypersonic

very nice and will be in competition with merc new A class

hope price will have significant gap to get this one instead of latter

 

dont mind getting either one, but both too small for a family man [smallcry]

Nice exterior.. A 2 door hot-hatch version will be more tempting if it is really pitting itself against Audi A3, Mercedes A Class, BMW 1 Series.

 

Other possible contenders are Golf GTI, Scirocco, Renault Megane RS, Opel Astra GTC (if it's here already).
