I was caught up with the Headline that VOLVO was going against the TESLA with new 400 hp plug in.... Would this make you think of anything other than a new entry into the ELECTRIC CAR MARKET????? The video suggests the car has TWO engines which suppliment electric. I left an example here.

With the limited room in the volt, especially the rear and continuous talk of how they need to put an Equinox Body on the Volt Foundation, the looks of this VOLVO CX60 are very good.

In the video, pay attention to the comments about AUTONOMOUS DRIVING...

If only it had 40-50 miles of electric range for $50k. The current battery falls way short, though I could really use the passenger and cargo space.

Edit: after perusing the Volvocars website, I want an electrified V60 Cross Country plug-in hybrid. Volvo, please make me one

I'm now really interested in the car. If anyone is looking for an ice version, here's a brand new 2016 for $12k off MSRP. This might be a suitable substitute for the Subaru Outback that my wife wants. A PHEV variant would satisfy our cargo needs as well as help us give OPEC the finger, we'll half a finger with 18 miles or so of range.
