~ Recorded Live from KOWS FM 92.5 ~

Tech Talk host Rick DeMeis makes no apologies for the unassuming way the Volvo XC60 Recharge PHEV gives away its Swedish upbringing. Sure it’s got lots of power – 400 horsepower for that matter, and it’s mighty efficient all things considered. But then there’s that Swedish penchant for doing things in moderation, imparting a uniquely understated character to this luxury vehicle that’s more than charming – something more assured and calming than brash and ostentatious.

The conversation then shifts to the recent New England Motor Press Association Winter Vehicle Awards ceremony. Yes, it’s summer – what better time to begin considering how you’ll be getting around when temperatures drop and the snow begins to fly.

Listen in for reports on the history of the ice cream truck and lots more.
