    ok, now where do you suppose they got that idea? It's a slightly better looking version of the Leaf :) with more cargo area.

    And they'll be selling it only in China!!! (And with a shorter EV range and a bigger gas tank.)

    Too low to the ground for those looking to drive in the snow. It looks like a SUV.

    32 miles range is based on EPA City routine. Highway speed would cut it down to 19 miles.

    This vehicle is not suitable for City life style. Who are they trying to sell it to?

    Make this thing all electric and available in the US and I'd give it serious consideration.

    Can't answer your question, but I'd be in the market. Nearly ideal for my needs. A bit roomier than the Prius (I assume), longer EV range than the PHV Prius (my biggest gripe about the PHV Prius), and that EV range is ideal for me...I have a 26 mile RT commute...even if I forgot to plug in at work I'd have enough for the RT most of the time. But the gas would allow me to make the occasional longer drives I'd need to take.

    Line it up beside the PHV Prius, let me compare them spec for spec and price for price and if they're comparable I'd probably choose the MVP5 over the Prius b/c of the longer EV range.
