The bad news is that if you live in the United States and thought the Cross Country's tougher looks may have persuaded Volvo to bring it to this side of the Atlantic, we hate to disappoint you, but that's not going to happen.

New Audi A3 Sportback Grows in Size, Shrinks in Weight [50 Photos and Video]

The 2013 A3 Sportback is the more practical and versatile five-door version of Audi's premium compact model. The evolutionary (according to Audi, stale according to others) styling language of the A3 can be found on the Sportback variant as well, with the five-door variant employing the use of three side windows and a sloping tailgate design. For a sportier look, buyers will be able to opt for Audi's S-Line package that adds different bumpers, spoilers and larger alloy wheels. While the car's exterior dimensions at 4,310mm (169.7 inches) long, 1,780mm (70.1 inches) and 1,425mm (56.1 inches) tall are only slightly greater than on the previous Sportback, the new model now rides on a 2,636 millimeters (103.8 inches), an increase of 58 millimeters (2.28 in). <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QcAr9u1XDZY/UFpSABaaHXI/AAAAAAAJJWc/PgDdczaUEx0/s1600/2013-Audi-A3-Sportback-3.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" height="101" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5790030431270870386" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QcAr9u1XDZY/UFpSABaaHXI/AAAAAAAJJWc/PgDdczaUEx0/s200/2013-Audi-A3-Sportback-3.jpg" style="border: 1px solid rgb(224, 224, 224); cursor: pointer; float: right; margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px;" width="145" /></a>The five-door model is also 35 millimeters (1.38 in) longer between the axles than <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/03/new-2013-audi-a3-makes-its-official.html">the three-door version</a>, resulting in an increase in rear passenger legroom. The luggage compartment offers 380 liters (13.42 cu ft) of space in the basic configuration and can be expanded to 1,220 liters (43.08 cu ft) with the rear seats (60:40 split) folded down. <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/09/new-audi-a3-sportback-grows-in-size.html#more">Read more »</a>

Deemed by many as the spiritual successor to the great F1 of the 1990s, McLaren says <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/09/mclaren-talks-about-its-new-p1-hypercar.html">the P1</a> was designed with one simple goal: "to be the best driver’s car in the world on road and track". <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--ZqpuRA2AKc/UGdusYSF37I/AAAAAAAJWKI/EA1Zzvg2PG8/s1600/McLaren-P1-7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear:right; float:right; margin-left:10px; margin-bottom:10px"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--ZqpuRA2AKc/UGdusYSF37I/AAAAAAAJWKI/EA1Zzvg2PG8/s200/McLaren-P1-7.jpg" width="95"></a> We will have to wait for the production model to find out whether the McLaren P1 can live up to its promise, but in the meantime, we can ask your opinion about the hypercar's design and if it hits the right notes. <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/09/mclaren-p1-design-love-it-hate-it-or.html#more">Read more »</a>
