For those still waiting for a 'utility' plug-in perhaps here is one to consider ...
"Volkswagen computer simulations point to a 0-to-60-mph time of 7.2 seconds, thanks in part to torque loading from the diesel engine and two electric motors. Top speed is 127 mph. The complex drivetrain offers zero emission propulsion at the push of a button, with claims of a 14-mile all-electric range on a full battery charge at speed up to 75 mph. Combined cycle fuel consumption is put at 89 mpg-e on the EPA standard fuel economy equivalent test for hybrid vehicles in hybrid mode and 35 mpg in pure diesel mode.
