Volvo V40

Volvo sets sights on the five-door Audi A3 and BMW 1 Series with the 2013 V40, which is being unveiled at the 2012 Geneva Auto Show. Taking styling cues of the C30—and a liftback tail reminiscent of the classic P1800—its profile strikes a more wagon-esque profile than hatchback. Powered by a 254-horsepower turbo five-cylinder, it sprints from 0-62 mph in 6.7 seconds; that's not rubber-burning quick, but as a diesel with start-stop technology and regenerative braking, you can expect respectable gas mileage figures. Unfortunately, Europe still thinks Americans care little for hatches, and there are no plans yet to release the V40 stateside.
