  A class of inflation theories called $\alpha$-attractors has been
investigated recently with interesting properties interpolating between
quadratic potentials, the Starobinsky model, and an attractor limit. Here we
examine their use for late time cosmic acceleration. We generalize the class
and demonstrate how it can interpolate between thawing and freezing dark
energy, and reduce the fine tuning of initial conditions, allowing $w\approx-1$
for a prolonged period or as a de Sitter attractor.
