Does every brand you design a lineup for have to have ultra-performance versions of their cars? How about a Matiz (I think you forgot it in your Daewoo lineup) with a General Dynamics M1 Abrams AGT-1500 turbine engine mounted in lieu of rear seats and cargo space (1500 HP), 20" Giovanni chrome rims, painted black with tinted windows, a blue flashing light under the chassis and a counter that goes "beep" every time you pass a car with a lower HP rating than yours?

Well rounded auto line ups usually need a performance model or two...

My Ideal Volvo lineup???? Thats about like asking me my ideal Kia lineup, I really dont care. Although I have read some stuff on the C30, and it seems to be a sweet little car, but could use a little more HP.

He had me 'til the Giovannis & everything else sounds nice - but no laser cannon?!?

& to A.R.
I recently re-did mine (not here)
main diff is a couple new "P" models that are swoopier-than-wagon (or the C30) 5-doors & possibly no more V's
so it'd go
