Quick backstory:
A bit ironic, but on the 13th day of LEAF ownership the heater went out so this morning I dropped it off at the dealership to have the heater repaired. I'll post another thread on that experience.
The dealership loaned me a Nissan Rogue to drive, and as I was merging on I-24 (about 5 miles from the Nissan plant) I spot a LEAF cruising at about 80mph. I tell the wife, "wow cool a LEAF." I pull in behind it in the light traffic. Then slowly light bulbs begin to go off in my head. I think, huh, cool blacked out wheels. Then, huh, cool flat grey paint. Then I notice the badges are blacked out/covered up. Then I think wait a second, the LEAF doesn't come in that color. Then as it's merging on to 840 I realize it must be a 2013 test vehicle, so I grabbed my phone and snapped a shot. Since the 2013s will be identical on the outside there's nothing really to see, but I figure at least it may prove what has been reported. The US made 2013s are being tested and should start production soon. For a higher resolution, click the link to the photo Flickr.
