    Media embargo is until next week so this is just a preview without the driving impressions.

    A tool for a purpose, wish they would improve weight/aero on the ev at least if they aren't going to improve the battery size.

    I guess I feel the same with the imiev, rather have a little more battery and the euro spec car that has better aero and weight.

    I'm a fan and supporter of 'Fully Charged' which does a proper review:


    NOTE: we are not EV people, this is for those who are.

    Jonny is a presenter from the now defunct Fifth Gear motoring television programme. He's much more knowledgeable about cars than Robert. Robert is good with PHEVs and EVs but when he tries to make a comparison to an ICE car, it sort of falls apart. (He tried that with the 330e PHEV review).
