Can The Chinese Succeed Where The Japanese Failed In Taking On The High Performance Market?

Volvo is considering launching a new performance sub-division to rival Mercedes’ AMG and BMW’s M GmbH.

The first model to go on sale would be a hot version of the C30 hatch, and a concept version has already been built to measure public interest.

Developed by Polestar, the team responsible for Volvo’s entry in the Swedish Touring Car Championship, this concept features four-wheel drive, is powered by a 399bhp five-cylinder turbo engine and can get from 0-62mph in less than five seconds.

LMAO..exactly!! Im sorry, but my 2007 SE V6 camry shocked the ish out of me...The Passat V6 and heavy body was no match..American? DEAD...At that time, no other midsize engine was f***ing with it! And if the Japanese aren't then what the hell was the EVO, WRX STI, GT, LF-A, 350, nsx, Supra??????? Oh, by "High" performance you mean expensive??? Im confused..

Succeed or not, that's a right direction to go, and will benefit all of us.
