also... don't forget that in an SUV you are much more likely to roll over in an accident, and much more likely to die in the event of a roll-over than in a small car. As the small cars are relatively stronger when up-turned.
Also much more likely to cause an accident, as they can't turn or stop as well. And reduce visibility of other drivers on the road.
They also increase insurance rates.
Volvo's ReCharge plug-in hybrid concept: this time it's for serious {Engadget}

They are working with saab/subaru ?
how about a juiced up WRX AWD version...
would be nice if the batteries lasted 100 miles rather than 60... 60 is a bit weak.
They should go the whole way, and maybe try aluminum of composites to greatly reduce the weight.
Kudos to Volvo.
get it out on the streets already !
