MotorWeek praises Leaf in long term test update!

[HoustonFlier]

Last Sundays MW was all praise for Leaf!

IIRC, they said "8 months of resisting Nissan's calls to get it back, our staff are still hooked to it!".

Interview with driver said limited range was not a problem, despite the distances they travel.

Yep, I saw that. Very positive long term test review and owner testimonial. Nice!

Yes, saw that episode on a replay last night, they also said that they didn't want to give it back as well as the testimonial was an owner of a black LEAF registered in MD; possibly a forum member??? Nice to see a bit of positive info on ANY EV's.

Was that the same episode with the new-car test of an Acura RDX, or was it with the Lexus LS? Having trouble finding the episode.

...It was the Lexus episode.

Amazing that my DVR decided not to record this particular episode among all the possibilities. Or I supposed it could've been the fat-fingered pilot: PICNIC (problem in chair, not in computer).

We feel strongly positive about the all-electric Nissan Leaf

Pun? :lol:

Yep, that was my wife and me in that short MotorWeek segment (1:15) in October. But they shot a LOT of footage with us, and supposedly there is a longer segment (approx 4 minutes) about both the Volt and the Leaf in an episode scheduled to premiere on Saturday Nov 10, 2012...
