The 2011 Geneva Motor Show will host the world premiere of the Volvo V60 Plug-in Hybrid, a near production-ready model that is said to return a very impressive 125 mpg US (1.9 lt/100 km), with CO2 emissions under 50 g/km. In order to achieve this, engineers entered a new variable into the plug-in hybrid equation: a diesel engine.
The V60’s front wheels are driven by a 2.4-liter 5-cylinder turbo diesel powerplant capable of 215HP and 440 Nm (325 lb-ft) of torque, mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. At the back, there's a 70HP electric motor that powers the rear wheels and a 12kWh lithium-ion battery pack.

According to Volvo, the V60 Plug-in Hybrid “features the very best properties from three different car types in one sports wagon”, including an all-electric driving mode with a range of up to 32 miles (52 km).

The best aspect of the 2011 Honda Insight’s interior is its Eco Assist System which tells the environment-conscious drivers how fuel-efficient their driving is. Other than that, the interior reflects other Honda models: it’s good looking, but materials appear somewhat cheap. The main drawback is the second row, which is a tight squeeze for full-size adults.
The Honda Hybrid still uses the IMA system, but it went through a few upgrades that are found in the latest model. The Insight can achieve 40 mpg in the city and 43 miles per gallon on the highway. The combined mileage is 41 miles per gallon.

0 comments Posted by tito at 9:46 PMFrom 1999 to 2006, the Insight relied on Honda's Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) system. The IMA system helped the electric motor to run start and stop sequences with the gas engine during certain driving conditions. This system also kept the hybrid battery charged by turning the engine into a generator.

Thanks to this hybrid-wizardry, the Insight gets fuel averages of 40 mpg in the city and 43 on the highway according to the EPA. While these ratings are fantastic when compared to gasoline cars, other hybrids do better. The Toyota Prius gets an EPA rating of 51/48 mpg city/highway, making it the most fuel efficient car available in the United States. The Prius starts around $23K, which is a few thousand more than the Insight, but if you plan on keeping your car for a few years, the Prius will save you more money in the long run. The Honda Civic Hybrid also has higher ratings -- 40/45 mpg city/highway -- but will also cost you just as much as the Prius and doesn’t perform as well as the aforementioned competition.

During the last two decades, the Mercury division has witnessed car sales sink from a high of 527,000 cars sold in 1985 to just 202,000 vehicles sold in 2003. The tailspin has been due, in part, to neglect from higher ups within the company who felt that the division was redundant, in other words, what Mercury offered was nothing more than gently rebadged Fords. In many ways this was true. Still, Mercury has effectively served as a bridge to Ford's luxury division, Lincoln, and the retiring of key Mercury models including the Tracer and Cougar has meant that potential future Lincoln owners shopped elsewhere. Indeed, over the past decade, Lincoln sales have dropped dramatically to the point where archrival Cadillac now outsells Lincoln by over 100,000 vehicles per year.
The 2006 model year has brought with it several all new models including the Mercury Milan, a midsize sedan based on the popular Mazda 6 platform. For Mercury, the Milan is an important and much needed entry that this particular division of the Ford Motor Company hopes will spice up an aging and uninspiring line up. Thanks to Ford's relationship with Mazda [they own a portion of the Japanese automaker], the Milan appears to be just what Mercury needs.
