Well the Volvo XC90 PHEV is eliminated as a choice. I priced one out at $84k, went to a dealer and asked for a est on a lease. With the $7500 tax credit, $2500 down and $8-10k in incentives, it was about $1200 a month for 3yrs and 15k miles!!! My near $80k F15 X5 is $810 after tax for 3yr 12k. I dont even know if the $1200 included sales tax.... Told the guy I can lease an X7 for less and have cash left over for gas... He said no one is buying Volvo PHEVs (outside of CA of course lol), dealers sometimes don't even have one on the lot, and orders could be 3-6 months for it to come in.

If the US X7 45e is 6-12 months after Europe or Asia like the X5 then thats BS.

Alternative is to just drive down to SC and steal an X7 M50d after it rolls outta the factory.
