Sounds interesting. One thing that stuck out, though:
Of course, the Leaf is just a concept right now, as evidenced by the strict use of computer animation to depict it. Perhaps some advancements will make it more than a toy before it becomes production ready
So this would just be a simple around-town car, which would limit it to the quite affluent who can pay $50k+ for an around town car that won't replace what you already have. Any intercity travel will have to be done with a traditional car, as travel simply won't be feasible with the Leaf (the problem that has plagued electric cars for decades)."...one charge will take you up to 100 miles"

Even if this model would produce 10% of the emmissions a car now does, would be fine. Especially if those 10% emissions boosted the travel range by another 100 miles or so. Alot more people would be inclined to buy it if it could travel twice as far.. Either way I don't have 50k to spend on a car

The thing with the leaf, is some cars will be out and about this year. But mass production will not start until 2012. I myself would not be getting this car, as the car I want really bad for $30k, and can go 300 miles/gallon

I'd love to have a '67 Chevy Impala... great car and it's nearly as old as me, so that's a plus
It's one of the reasons I like to watch Supernatural!
