How are you all? Coach, Nice review Thanks

[bobdavis]

Super review of the Volvo-Norelco shaver!

[Saturdayz_In_The_Fall]

Can you please review the 2021 Honda Accord Touring In the new Sonic Gray Pearl color?

[anthonyc]

With all the EVs that you're reviewing lately, have you put in a dedicated charger in your garage?

[independent]

the infotainment system is incomplete with no date to make it work as it is advertised to do. THERE ARE BETTER OPTIONS OUT THERE THAT ACTUALLY WORK. Read reviews on Carmax, and others, people are pissed off with the lack of progress.

Well my question is about the xc40 is basically is it just about the same as the Volvo c40 as a matter of fact my friend is going out and getting one herself because her husband is getting a new job starting next month which is December that is and from what I understand are you going to save up enough money to get his wife a new electric vehicle most likely a Volvo c40. However, I just explained to her that she's going to have to charge the car every night before she goes to bed because hopefully those things can charge overnight. And what I like about it is the fact is that you're right the heats are seated I mean the seats are heated and that would mean wow I could at least get warm like a cat. But the main thing is so I think electric cars will definitely replace the gas powered once because with gas prices the way they are now it's going to be virtually impossible to get gasoline for your new car because basically if you go around saying it or any way you put it if you want to pay anywhere between $100 a week for gasoline on that car? Because I can tell you this much that's exactly what's going to happen. And besides that I think electric cars will be a lot better than gas powered ones thank you.

You are plugged in! Can you adopt me?!

I like the car and it will be on my personal short list. However, I hate Google.

Lol.. seems that the abundance of Hydrogen (fuel cell) power has been bypassed, but unless you've got off grid (wind/solar/hydro) electricity' its a no brainer buying electric from your (Corporate) Nuclear & Coal Power Stations ~ the carbon offset works out nearly twice that of a petroleum powered vehicles ~ just wait till you need a new (Lithium) battery for EV's $##, ### !
