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.

We asked Laura DiStefano, Corporate Communications Manager for Volvo Cars of North America, and her reply was the same we got for the regular V40 hatchback: "No plans for the U.S."

New Volvo V40 Cross Country Photos Released in Advance of the Paris Motor Show

The first official images and details of the new Volvo V40 Cross Country have dripped on the web revealing the Swedish carmaker's smallest crossover model.

Originally thought to be named XC40, the new Volvo is a taller standing and more rugged looking version of the brand's V40 compact hatchback, designed more or less around the same philosophy as the larger XC70.

The halfway (if not even less...) crossover model from Volvo gets some chunky black cladding around the redesigned front and rear bumpers that also feature silver colored protective plates, and side sills, along with silver roof rails, newly styled alloy wheels and a 40mm taller ride height than the regular V40.

Meanwhile in Russia No13: Acrobatic Crash, a Manic Fire Truck, Range Rover Facelift and a Failed Carjack

Something tells us that even if the driver featured in the above screen shot and the first video after the break tried to repeat this feat, he probably wouldn't succeed.

The man in the white sedan looks like he wasn't paying attention to the road and clipped the black Opel Astra in front him, which pushed the car on its two wheels on the driver's side for a few seconds before it landed safely on the ground.
