I case my other comment doesn’t get approved...

That “polluting battery” thing of hybrids/EVs is kind of a myth, actually. While there is a slight increase in emissions/carbon footprint in the front end of manufacturing a hybrid, the majority of the pollution coming from cars is found in the life/duration of fuel burning, which is higher with traditional ICE…

Well, I’m interested. Depending on what the price actually is (assuming dealers around here don’t bump it up from MSRP) I would definitely take a look.

1st: (somewhat related) - What is the likelihood of VW opening up sales of their eGolf to markets outside of CAFE states? IMO, that would be step in the right direction in the wake of this scandal.

Check out the forums on mynissanleaf.com if you are interested in detailed specs and user/owner experiences and data. It’s a valuable resource for exploring the option of Leaf ownership.

I’m all about getting a used Leaf sometime in the near future. At the prices they are selling at with such low mileage and low usage by the leasers (prior owners), they make great sense for folks who are looking for a clean daily driver for short commutes. The battery degradation issue really is not such a big deal…

Can one of VW’s fixes be to allow the e-Golf to be sold in all states or at least sold in more markets than it is currently? Only a handful of states offer them at the moment. I’m in NC and the closest dealers offering e-Golfs are in Maryland. Any chance that could happen?

Personally, I think Fiat nailed it, and I usually don’t give a crap about roadsters.

WANT.

Guys, I can’t stress enough just how much I am enjoying this coverage of the whole debacle. Great stuff.

Me too. Loving this coverage.
