Is toyota trying to be anything but #1?

same here. somebodies got an i3 locally, but that's about all i've seen. a few leafs, and a lot of tesla's.

 

A few Leaf's? I've probably seen 20 Leaf's for every Tesla.

 

they're even ruining pretty cars with their grill badge engineering efforts

scion ia, aka a disfigured mazda 2

 

The $99/month leaf leases probably didn't hurt.

 

yeah, in this area, not sure why there aren't more leafs, but the tesla's probably replaced some fancy sports car.

 

I'll take one, just show me that $99/month leaf leases, I have space in the driveway!

 

maybe it was just northern california, but it was going on for a while. Fiat 500EV, too. Seems like several people where I work got Leafs (Leaves?) on that deal

 

Yes - Fiat 500 EV has a $99.00 lease going on, and this little car can travel 80 miles on a charge. It has also received great reviews.

 

The trick of the 500EV low price is that it is sold at loss. Fiat declared that they lose thousands of dollars for every 500EV sold and would prefer no one buying it. They made it just as a compliance car so they don't even sell it in Europe.

 

They should have got Fiat to design the headlights.

 

Too bad for Fiat, good for us!

 

at one time many of us were impatient to have that futuristic car, that flies, or looks as cool as the movies portrayed them in the 80's and 90's. Now they are becoming a reality many want them to look like the bland cars of the 90's?????????????????

 

But they couldn't even get the hood to fit! someone should be fired!
