Indeed ... based on current exchange rates that would translate to about $74K USD

IMO, this just further confirms the evidence already presented by the Volt and Fisker, that the PHEV redundant drivetrain and fuel source design, is just too expensive for practical use

Well, you can't just translate that way. I think this will be priced around $45K in the US.

The price in Sweden will be about $100k..
