I kind of like it too but it doesn't appear to be a big seller. Here are a few guesses about why.
* It's not cheap and it only seats four. It has some good hardware like the T5 and optional AWD. But it's not a performance stunner. You're paying a lot for a small car that is only sort of so-so.
* It doesn't have a special hook like other premium small hatchbacks do. For example, the Mini boasts awesome mpg. The Audi A3 can provide a TDI/quattro combination. The new Lexus ct200h is a sporty-looking hybrid hatch with high mpg. We'll see if it sells, but is is distinctive.
Overall the answer to the "why would I buy this instead of something else" question isn't very clear for the Volvo.
