You’ve seen the spy shots. Now here’s a spy video of Volvo’s new five-door C30, which was spotted recently in a car park in Europe. The new model is scheduled to make its official world debut at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show next March before going on sale shortly after as a 2013 model.

It may have its detractors, but there’s no denying that the 2012 Lexus LFA is a force to be reckoned with. The sultry supercar marks both a turning point in Lexus' design and the beginning of a renewed focus for the luxury marque--one that’s almost entirely performance themed. Sitting atop Lexus' F performance vehicle portfolio, which includes IS F and F Sport models, the LFA is a tangible example of the template from which the Japanese automaker promises all its future models will be developed and evaluated.
