excellent! i hope they have the cars to back up the hype, i would love to be able to go to my local dealer and buy one.:rockon:

They say the tomorrow (Aug 27) is the big day. Early bird folks located in the right geographic areas will be getting their email notice from Nissan ... presumabley granting permission for you to clunk down the "real" money, above & beyond the $99. All this becomes important, because some tax credits will be phased out at the end of 2010, and in order the get the lowest price, after credits, one necessarily has to have purchased their EV by the end of the year.

I just saw a Nissan Leaf commercial on television with Lance Armstrong. Awesome commercial !

Is that with him cycling behind various dirty cars and then the LEAF? They played that quite a bit on Versus during the Tour de France.

Nice! They've been showing the Armstrong commercial for a few weeks now, by this point I want the Leaf to slam on the brakes and send Lance flying! Just kidding!

Here's something funny about the Leaf, when compared to the Volt:

First, consider the Leaf:



several dealerships are advertising $500 below MSRP - while some are discounting even deeper.

Next, consider the Volt:

"GreenBriefs: Chevy Dealers Intending to Mark Up Volts, Honda Expands Line of Solar-Generator Products, Nissan to Help Develop 'CO2-Free Island'" Green Car Advisor

So it's not bad enough the taxpayers have to own GM, we get gouged by them if we take a chance with their quality. PLUS the LEAF and it's batteries, are made in the U.S. to boot. I wish 100% of ALL our cars & parts could be made here.
