Volvo plug-in hybrid

This looks awesome, and about time.

A small high load, low rpm generator (preferably diesel) to charge the lipos when needed. Why hasn't anyone else done this yet? A 110mpg vehicle that runs on diesel/biofuel could change the world as we know it.

Plus it's wrapped in that C30 package!

Umm... I'm a college kid... I wouldn't wabt a economy car(unless its the tesla)
id rather be broke getting 15 mpg and having some fun with a car, than having cash and being bored with my car.

Ps I've always driven rotary engine powered cars (the c30 is my 2nd piston car) so I'm used to being broke by getting 8-12 city and 18-24 highway

Notice the quote: I said need, not want. If you can afford to own a car that gets 8-12 in the city, good on you.
