Haven't seen that yet.
Not sure how I feel about it though.
The rendering makes it look like the designers couldn't decide if they want it to be a small V60 or an extended C30...

Kinda looks like a new Ford Focus. Needs more wagon and less hatchback.

I'm a fan of how it looks. I've always loved hatchbacks, especially four-door ones. Would be nice if both this and the V60 could make it to this side of the pond...

If they make it a Polestar V40 with everything the C30 did then maybe I will forgive them for the lack of wagoness.... maybe.

I wish... I'm hoping for the 250 hp T5 engine out of the S60 at best, and I think even thats a long shot

No maybe about it!
But at best you'll probably only be able to get a Polestar tune that adds 23 hp and 29 lb-ft of torque for the low price of $1,295 like the current C30 Polestar tune... So less forgivness will be granted.

IMO its a good market to get into right now, not a whole lot of competition and an expanding client list.

I'm still trying to figure out what the difference is between the B5254T5 (in the new S60) and the B5254T7 (in the C30/S40/V50). (Other than the exhaust manifold.)
Still, it will probably have the new I4 in it instead of an I5.

Nope. T5. With 254hp. A very nice car, hopefully will have AWD so I can be really sad it never comes to the US.

Nice find! Glad its getting that motor, but looks like it has way too much extra crap to be the "simple, light weight, stripped down" Volvo I was hoping for.

it comes with Fords 1.6 Eco and 1.8, and a T5 2.0D.
In other words, its just like the first gen V40.
