Volvo C30

The perkiest of the cars that I'm considering. Some of the reviews that I read on the internet are not all that psyched about it, though. Cute. Sufficient gadgetry, especially if I go for lots of options.

Acura TSX

Base model is less perky. Excessive gadgetry available. Am I really going to talk to the heater? Longest car (front-to-back) that I am considering. Seems roughly the same as the Inifiniti G25 and Lexus IS.

Lexus CT200h

I really want to like this car. Has even worse acceleration than the subcompact econobox that I currently drive. The local dealer doesn't have one on the lot.
