Certainly Lotus' new Evora would have be considered, although I've yet to get behind the wheel of an example that had its engine running so can't admit it on the abbreviated roster yet. Ferrari's California falls into this camp too, and I'd really have to squeeze my 6- and 9-year old in back to see if it's actually possible. Ferrari doesn't even call it a 2+2, but merely a 2+. I've driven a 612 Scaglietti and while wonderful it feels more like a big luxury GT than a sports car. I've had Aston's DB9 on some pretty exploitive California roads and must admit to enjoying myself way too much, but again it's a large luxury GT too...

The last time Volvo did a slick two-door hatchback (in North America anyway) was in the 1960s, with the cool P1800ES. The styling makes it clear that the C30 hasn't forgotten that groundbreaker, even if most Canadians are unaware that Volvo ever built a cool little sports car...

There's another station wagon that combines European styling and luxury with entertaining performance at a price most mortals can afford. The Volvo V50 may be the first serious challenger that Audi's A4 Avant has ever had. The smallest Volvo wagon is a sure contender, with spirited performance, over 1,700 litres of cargo space and available All-Wheel Drive (AWD). For 2010, the lineup is simplified with the T5 being AWD only. With sporty looks, especially in R-Design trim that includes a unique grille, polished exhaust, a body kit and unique seventeen-inch wheels, and performance to match, Volvo's compact wagon is ready to come out and play...
