Volvo C30 Electric Car Confirmed
"A couple of years ago, Volvo introduced the ReCharge hybrid electric concept; now, it’s taking the idea a step further by giving the little Volvo C30 hatchback an electric motor with a 130-mile range.
A plug-in electric Volvo C30 will debut at the Innovation for Life event just after the Frankfurt Motor Show in September, according to a report in Autocar. Unlike the ReCharge, the C30 won’t have four small electric motors at all four wheels. It will instead have a more conventional single-motor set up.
The New York Times Wheels blog said the car could maybe possibly be part of a small test fleet. Fingers crossed. I’ve driven the gasoline C30, and for a city car, it’s brilliant. Swap out the gas pump for an outlet, and I’ll be in line. I’ll start saving my pennies.

2010 Prius - models and US prices announced
Toyota Pressroom has announced the prices and packages for the 2010 Prius in the USA.
Interesting is that the extras packages allow either safety or comfort, but not both.
That is - you can either get the Sunroof Package or the Advanced Technology package, but not both.
The sunroof package gives you SatNav + a Sunroof with remote control operated air conditioner.
The Advanced Technology package gives you radar assisted cruise control, radar assisted pre-collision avoidance system, lane keep assist (to stop drowsy drivers drifting lanes) and semi-automatic parking.
Looking out to see what the Australian prices look like, and giving it a test drive when it eventually arrives.

Honda Reintroduces the Insight Hybrid ahead of new model Prius
CNN Reports: Honda Motor Co. unveiled a pure-hybrid concept car Thursday that hopes to go head to head with Toyota's wildly popular Prius. The carmaker showed images of the Insight that will go on sale in the United States in the spring, it said. The car, which will be sold only as a hybrid, will be a five-seat hatchback and will be priced "significantly below hybrids available today," Honda said in an announcement.
The picture on the CNN website looks almost exactly like the current model Prius. It will be very interesting to see what price range they can make this car, what mileage is can get, as well as what features it comes with.
Toyota is also expected to announce new hybrid models, including a new Prius in January at the Detroit motor show. Detroit News reports that there will be a Lexus hybrid with a completely different design to the Prius, as well as the next generation prius.
