Comparing the Nissan Leaf to the BMW M3

[jeremyz]

The Leaf is not fast at all, but the throttle response is really damn good. I didn't drive my evo for a couple of weeks because I was just driving the Leaf. When I went back to my evo, the first time I stomped on the gas, I momentarily thought my car was broken. I thought, "what the f? I just smashed down the gas and nothing happened." A moment later, the surge of power came on and I realized I was just used to the instantaneous response from the Leaf. I would describe the throttle response in my evo as lightning fast (assuming you're driving like a maniac in the right gear), but the Leaf's is better.

In an amusing turn of events, Top Gear, of all places, picked up the YouTube video we talked about last weekend. Judging by the view count, this thing has definitely gone viral.
