Yeah, I just saw that today just after I posted. I guess I should look it up before answering. Just goes to show how inept the marketing people are at GM that I did not even know that until today.

Nice to see GM is doing the minimum required and making a big deal about it. :roll:

I expect Nissan to warrant for 60K/60 month like rest of the drivetrain - like one of the dealers has been saying on the other leaf forum.

Remember how big a deal General Motors made about the upcoming 2011 Chevy Volt's supposed 230 mile per gallon EPA fuel mileage rating? Well, you can now forget about it. According to USA Today, the Feds have decided not to use the preliminary testing procedure that produced that mythical 230 mpg figure, and a new methodology for rating electric vehicles has yet to be finalized. Don't expect a revised mileage figure any time soon. In fact, an actual mpg equivalent rating may not come until the Volt is just about ready to hit the market at the end of the year.
