Nissan is pretty clever, by the time the rest of the auto makers follow suit, Nissan technologies will be mature and tested and they will be in a position to license them to others for some serious profit. The LEAF looks promising to say the least.
looks like a crap smart car...probally only has 2 seats. The chevy volt is much larger, same mialege, better looking, probally coast the same, and best of all is the volt is coming out in late 2010. 3rd quater to be exact. Yes and while the leaf is great, gm did all this while bankrupt, AND gm is american, therefore when buying a gm you are not exploiting jobs to japan. Ok you still like the leaf, i could care less. Like which car you like but GM has a winner lineup on the way cruze, volt
let me continue...also there are the new equinox, there is many new concept that are coming soon, including the cadilac converj which is going to be on the volt body, also gm is expanding their mpv's whith the chevorlet orlando. It's a mini looking van. but has four doors. Also gm has great cars out now including the equiox, cadilac srx, gmc terrian, buick enclave, chevy traverse, chevy malibu, chevy malibu hybrid, the new aveo is much improved over last years model. I could go on and on and...
still got more... on and on and on about how great gm is but i won't hell i don't even know why i sarted this fight but im a gm fan to the core GM GM GM
Furthermore GM went ahead building the Volt with tax payer money, there is nothing noble or admirable about that.
You can seat only 4 adults on the Volt, while you can seat 5 on the LEAF, another point you completely missed. The LEAF is the future, while the Volt is the product of a company that refuses to let go all the while trying to adapt to a new era in the automotive industry.
I admire your support for American built cars, but if I were you I would support an American car builder like Tesla or even Ford, but not GM, the Volt has a onboard gas generator so that car will require service and parts. Bob Lutz is on record on another youtube video admitting the gas generator is a revenue opportunity for dealers. See electric cars have only one moving part in their drive-train and that is a problem for your beloved GM.
I appreciate the timeliness of the videos and await the longer ones. However, some commentary would be appreciated. I'd like to know what I'm looking at beyond the description at the sidebar.
"Chevy Volt. The battery in that thing is HUGE!!! "
That is because it is a high power (electrical flow) battery, this is needed so that the on board gas generator can recharge the battery. The LEAF uses a high energy (electrical density) battery for longer range and better over all performance.
these are plain boring with no sound. I agree, I would rather read my Car and Driver Magizine. If this is what kbb videos are going to be I will unsubcribe
We'll add sound next time. Thank you for the feedback. We'll be adding the full length video soon, and I assure you that it will have sound. Since this was a rough cut, we did not post sound.

so the rumor is that Carlos Ghosn liked it so much, ... he gave it his family name... 'Ghosn' in arabic means 'leaf' ...
or it could be just a coincidence...hmm...

Hard to stay professional toward inconsiderate people, isn't it?
Anyway, I like the rough-cut idea, gives us something to look forward to and wet the taste buds. ;)
