After years of dreaming, months of waiting which involved two vigils lasting several hours on April 20, 2010 to register for the email invitation which then allowed me to reserve a place in line to submit a quote to a dealer starting August 31st. i was lucky enough to be one of a handful that was able to submit my quote for a Nissan Leaf on that first day. then came several weeks of .... well, nothing.

This week Danny & Russell are joined by Linda and Jason to discuss whether we are entering the twilight period for hybrids, GM announcing another concept Volt, the Prius PLUS performance package, and more!

I hate being right. Back in May, James Sikes of "Crazy Prius Acceleration" fame bought himself a Nissan Cube to replace his 2nd Gen Prius. You know, the one engineers couldn't find anything wrong with? As soon as I heard that Mr. Sikes had purchased the Cube, I issued a warning to all Nissan Cube owners to watch out for their resale value.

Abandoned by co-host Danny Cooper and regular panelist Tony Schaefer, Russell had to go another continent on another hemisphere to fill the gap. This week we are very glad to have Dr. Evan Fusco back on the show, live from Australia. Regular Panelist, Linda Weidemann braves some nasty, unnamed illness to appear on the show as well. A great show with a wide range of topics mostly centered around the, "Wasn't that obvious?" theme.

Host: Russell Frost

Panelists: Linda Weidemann, Dr. Evan Fusco

Just like you heard a couple of weeks ago right here on PriusChat, Nissan has revealed their first commercial for the Nissan LEAF. The 1 minute video features a polar bear who journeys from the icy Arctic through forests, highways, train tracks and over bridges to the big city and then on to the suburbs, where the animal finds someone who is trying to help – the owner of an all-electric Nissan LEAF.

This week Danny and Russell are joined by a full panel of Tony Schaefer, Linda Weidemann and Jason Holder. This week the group takes on the Inifiniti M35 hybrid, the Toyota Etios and it's potentially interesting future, Honda launches the Jazz/Fit hybrid (but only in Japan), SB535 and the new EPA rating system.
