Suppose for a moment you’re the top dog of an automobile company. One of your many priorities is directing clever engineers and talented designers to build a new compact sport sedan, intended to best represent he qualities and strengths of said imaginary car company. What would be on your must have list?
Would it include eye-catching yet tasteful exterior and a comfortable, well appointed cabin that accommodated four adults? Would it be powered by a clean and efficient engine producing roughly 200 hp, routed through a reliable AWD system? It would have to elicit an involving driving experience that rewards an experienced hand, while providing the latest in active and passive safety systems, all at a fair price.
At first glance, the Volvo and Audi seem to fill the same niche: Both are stylish, European sport sedans with all-wheel-drive. Yet the differences were many.
