We'll take one, once we can buy one while keeping both kidneys

No matter what it's like to drive - and we admit, it is a great little car - you can't escape the fact that Volvo plans to charge lessees around $2,100 a month for the upcoming C30 Electric. There will be no option to buy a C30 Electric, so don't think you can get around the rules that way. Nope, all Volvo will be doing is offering 400 early adopters the chance to spend $76,674 over the three-year lease to not buy an electric car. Call us crazy, but if we had that kind of money to throw at an electric vehicle (EV), we'd consider donating plasma to get another 35k and just up and buy a Tesla Roadster.
But, well, we don't, and the C30 Electric isn't here (yet) anyway, so we don't need to make a decision quite yet. Still, just knowing that price tag influenced our thinking as we tested the car recently and we expect it's going to stick in your mind, too, as you read the following review. Prove us wrong - or right - after the jump.
