    Jaguar to Build Volt-like Luxury Electric Car

    Well, if you've heard of Chevy's plans to save the environment, you probably know of their plans to make an electric car, the Chevy Volt. Now other companies are getting in on this, like Jaguar, a company that most people don't think of often when they think of cars.

    Jaguar is poised to launch the world’s first electric-drive luxury saloon, a version of the next-gen XJ, after the European Union last week agreed a loan for new green technology.
    The breakthrough Jag XJ four-door will use similar tech to the Vauxhall Ampera/Chevy Volt. Those cars run on electric power from batteries that are charged mainly by hooking up to the grid, but are also capable of being recharged on the move by a small-capacity engine.


    I thought this was interesting because a company that mostly produces sports cars is making an environment-friendly car, and related to Earth Day coming up.

      Yeah, plus, it looks a lot better than Chevy Volt.

      The only downside is that it only gets 30 miles compared to the 40 miles that the Chevy Volt has, but it also has a gas option, so that helps.

            Looks cool, but I'll stick with what I have now.

                Wario's motorcycle gets 5 miles to the gallon if I remember correctly.

                  Reminds me of a Bond car.

                    Looks like a Toyota Camry on a body kit. D=<
                    Me no likey.

                    Most good cars nowadays get 30+ MPG to the gallon, so this is no environmental breakthrough.
