I think Nissan did a great job overall with the design. Let's remember that not only is the LEAF a first of it's kind but is also a global car that needs to attract a wide variety of owners from very different cultures. IMHO it looks like it's from the "near future" and makes alot of new cars look immediatly dated. They could have ticked it up a notch or two, Ex; LEAF "Aero Concept". But this would turn off the people truly looking for an appliance to drive around. I also think this is why Nissan was so eager to show the ESFlow. Their designers have alot of new packaging opportunities to explore with smaller EV components. Their heads are probably ready to explode with new ideas! I respect Nissan for holding back on the LEAF and going the global/universal appeal route. I also think if more excitement is what you want, Nissan will be delivering it in short order with their "sports car".
