Well....I would not have predicted that 12 months later, not only would I not have a LEAF, but that I would have absolutely no idea, and I mean NONE, when a LEAF might arrive. With that observation, I will be leaving the forum. I do wish you all the best and I hope you all get a LEAF as soon...

Nice commercial, and pretty much totally unneeded and ill advised until they can actually roll it out in more than a limited distribution.

Thanks for the summary of your experience. I would not have expected to try an 80 mile round trip on unmeasured elevation, with passengers. There are just too many variables in that equation.

This was one of two things I did not like at my test drive in DC a few weeks ago. The second was the rear seating position. The test drive cars had obviously seen some use by then and the carpet was 'pilling up', sort of like a sweater in several areas. Feeling the carpet, it is definitely not...

John Cornyn has received $576,550 in oil contributions during the 110th congress. $140,300 of those dollars were from industry PACS. In total, Cornyn has accepted $1,404,275 from oil companies since from 2000 to 2008, which makes him one of the top recipients of oil money. In addition to oil...

The fence company has somewhere near zero motivation to fix this anytime soon. The only thing that is likely to 'move' them is an attorney. Obviously that is a slow and expensive option. Your best bet, in my experience, is to call the local permit authority at the city government and explain to...

Some idea of when the Forgotten 36 MIGHT get cars would be very helpful. I have decisions to make due to the age of my current car and I am not inclined to wait forever....having already spent over $1,000 in maintaining the current ride over the last few months. I would very much LIKE to know...

Very interesting story and pictures! Thanks Rich! Good real life research!

Sorry trains are tools of socialism.....so I hear anyway.

You are confusing the Federal government with the State Of Texas government. If the Texas government were the national government, there would be $0 available for EVs.

@walterbays, I would be in support of a mileage tax, with a vehicle weight surcharge. That makes perfect sense from a road usage perspective. Therefore, it will never happen! :)

This has nothing to do with road use and everything to do with reactionary oil state politics. Dumber than a doorstop and completely in line with Texas overall. (Is there still time to let them secede again?) If this genius wanted to be fair, she would abolish the gas tax and simply have...

Test drove the LEAF this morning in DC. Wish I had seen the thread earlier! Overall, a very good impression. On Sunday morning, there was pretty much zero wait time and clear roads. It was very helpful to see the exterior colors live. The car was a pleasure to drive. Very quiet and very easy to...

Off to MD for a test drive on Sunday....should be interesting.

Very interesting! I'm headed for a 10 AM drive in MD on Sunday....

Set Up a userid, signed in and voted. All are in negative territory, amazing given the topic, so I encourage everyone to get on and vote.

This sounds like an execution issue in Canada. In most cases, the local marketing team would be responsible for the experience and the rules regarding the car. I am guessing the Canadian team has only the vehicles they were given and sees no advantage in having them 'damaged' way before the...

From Automotive News: “I know that some U.S. customers are frustrated,” Shiga said. “But delivery is a little bit delayed because of shipping timing and deliveries to Japan.” Read more: http://www.autonews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20110218/OEM01/110219850/1493#ixzz1EMnMFM4e
