I tend to agree that E85 is not the answer to our global challenges. That said, if I were a swede, I'd buy the C30 E85 just to get the tax reduction, which basically would be sad, cause I wouldn't really be doing anything good for the environment, just for my private economy and my guilty conscience.

It may help relieve some of the foreign dependence, but for the US market, it just doesnt make sense. At first it looked like a great proposition, and it is a good alternative to hold us over for a bit, but the best fuel for transition is diesel. E85 doesnt get better mileage, nor is it readily available. Its good to have every gas engine with the option, but its not the solution. E85 is nothing to applaud at this point.

They seem like generic cars IMO, nothing special about them…. Now I might just consider one (pending on how well e85 integrates into my area) Never thought I could see myself in a Volvo.
