To be fair, I would not consider the lack of mentioning the base model getting the same battery size as something that would be earth shattering or a major breakthrough and something to discredit his knowledge. Even Nissan did not make a big deal about the S getting the same battery as the SV and SL. The discussion at that time was about if the '17 was going to be the LEAF 2.0. with a new body and 60 kWh battery.
I'm not saying he is correct but it would be really weird if this guy had no knowledge of the '17 and its specs regarding it having a 41 kWh battery. But maybe he didn't think that was a big deal since again, the discussion was about the LEAF 2.0.
I'm hoping he was wrong or there was a miscommunication or misunderstanding and the "rumor" turns out to be true. If the '17 is not the 60 kWh battery, I'd be fairly pleased with a 41 kWh and would turn in my '13 for one, depending on price comparison to the Bolt.
LOL! Well, the Prius c uses the 1NZ-FXE engine (same engine used in the 04 to 09 Prius aka NHW20) except Toyota claims 70% of it is new (http://www.greencarcongress.com/2012/02/priusc-20120208.html and elsehwere). The transaxle err... power split device isn't a carryover from other Priuses either: https://priuschat.com/threads/sae-papers-describing-prius-c.110207/.LeftieBiker said:Toyota managed to put a well-liked, proven drivetrain into an otherwise terrible little car (the Prius C), resulting in a car that isn't even liked for its drivetrain. Let's hope that Nissan does better with the 'Legacy Leaf'.
