WWD I assume? I couldn't find the drivetrain layout in the info. I like the looks of the car and would consider one providing it isn't driven by the wrong wheels. LOL

This is the one I'm waiting for till I decide on Audi or Volvo, unless they bring the S3 over.

Default It's a FWD, havent heard anything in a awd layout. Same chassis as Mazda3 .

I really like the bodykit and interior. Pretty positive it will ship with the 2.5 litre turbo I-5. 218/236tq.

Default They have a pretty good list of options...

Much better than chunking them into packages to make it "easier" for the customer.

Default C30 felt more roomy and bigger on the outside...

I have taken quite a liken to this car. I would buy this if they release there T5 or a D5 with AWD. Like they have done for there S40 T5 AWD, in Sweden.

The only design I hate is there rear end (Apart from a 5 door photoshop version which looks good). I don't know why I imagine someone breaking that rear window quite easily. Looks fragile. Apart of that I feel quite safe in this, just felt solid and bigger than the A3.
