Today is Wagon Day, a brand-new made up holiday when North Americans are tortured with photos of wagons that will not be available to us despite our endless pleas. First up, the Volvo V40.
Reports are stating that a 1.6L 4-cylinder will be present in the V40, but Volvo’s new modular engine family, with its 500cc per cylinder capacity, would suggest a 2.0L mill instead. We’ll find out for sure once the car is unveiled at the Geneva Auto Show. Since the C30 was such a spectacular sales flop in the United Sates, don’t look for this to make its way over here.

"Since the C30 was such a spectacular sales flop in the United Sates, don’t look for this to make its way over here." Really? The C30 was a sales flop? It's the only new Volvo I ever see on the road. I'll let someone else lookup the sales figures, but I can't belive that any other Volvos outsold the C30, except for maybe the big SUV. At some point I want to pick up nice used C30. Sure it's just a tarted up previous generation Mazda 3/Euro Focus. But damn is it tarted up nicely with the waterfall dash and P1800 mimicking all glass rear hatch.
The C30 was an overpriced turd, my local Volvo dealer still has a new one (3 years old) still sitting for sale.
