I wasn’t. I thought it had another month or so before it debut. Bored at work, I stumbled on Nissan’s site and there it is, and they are taking reservations for it. But yea, here it is, in all its EV glory. With incentives, it can be had as low as $22,490, without its $29,990. Top trim SL is $36,850 without incentives, or $29,350 with incentives.
Its a little Bolt like in the rear to me, but overall it follows Nissan’s recent design language. It has 147 horses, 150 miles of range, Nissan’s weird and confusing new Intelligent Mobility accelerator pedal, something called Pro Pilot Assist that looks to just be a fancy name for radar based cruise control, and the usual apps that can connect to a smartwatch or phone to show you vehicle status. Charging wise, 1 hour will get you 22 miles with a standard 240v outlet, or 30 minutes at 50kw will get you 88 miles which I find kind of impressive.
It remains to be seen if this will be a hit. I wouldn’t get it new though. I know I say that with a lot of cars, but Leafs can easily be found used under 10 and 15 grand. So wait it out maybe 3 years and you will have a nice second commuter car if you can fit an EV into your life. What do you guys think of it?

Unfortunately, Leafs never win any trophies.

Decidedly Nissan. Meh.

I look forward to finding them available for £5000 on Autotrader in 3 years time.

My mom and dad used to beat me, so when I grew up I became a Leafs fan. They never beat ANYONE.

This is all out of date after last season, but still...
If Leafs fans couldn’t laugh at themselves we’d all be dead by now. Can we at least agree on this?
DAMN WHY CAN’T THE SEASON START ALREADY

Man that last pic hurts as a wings fan. I’m not excited for this fucking shit show of a season. Probably going to end up without AA, and ken hollands probably going to give david booth a 5x5 deal cause hes lost his fucking mind and just hands out contracts to anyone from michigan.

I’m not a Wings fan by any measure (duh) but I kinda wish they could have held on and broken the record... On the other hand, that would have cost my leafs a playoff spot.
ROLL ON OCTOBER

Oh lookiee, another faux floating C-pillar. Nissan finds what it likes, and sticks with it.
More sensible than a Tesla anyway.

I wish we would have stopped grasping for playoff spots after Lidstrom retired. That was the beginning of the end. I wrote a really wrong rant about all of Hollands terrible signings then realized no one else cares lol

Looks like a Juke rear-ended a Leaf into a Maxima!
(Sadly, the legacy of the Juke has come to this...)

I was. Until I saw how ugly it was and would immediately consider a Bolt.

In 15 years we’ll point back at this and the latest Prius as examples of how making ugly cars was acceptable.

they should have used neon flashing lights and dancing girls to highlight it, the car is so “meh” i hadn’t paid any attention to it as is doesn’t appeal to me

Yup. Read a couple spreads the day it came out. Sounds promising. Inexpensive at least.
