true. But like I said toyota hardly sells any pure ice cars here. 90% of what they sell here is probably hybrid (mainly auris/prius/c-hr). we also dont get the camry.
So its not that far away form what toyota is selling now for the bulk of the numbers (in europe). So that makes it not as progressive as they'd like it to sound I think.

Also the press statement I believe said that volvo is going to bring out a pure electric carversion (so 'all electric') of every model in their lineup. Dont know how soon though.
Yeah, but Toyota probably sells more V6 Camrys here than all the cars they sell in Norway. So it's still kinda a big deal for Volvo.

And yeah, Volvo will apparently offer a regular hybrid, plug in hybrid and pure electric on each platform globally. No one even comes close to that currently.
