Pictures of a Black Leaf in the wild?

OMG! That is soooooo sexy!

I would like to get a black one but I am rethinking it I should get a white Leaf because I live in Arizona and black would use more AC and maybe bad on the battery.

I'm just happy to see it in a color other than Blue (or Silver)!

Definitely. And white also won't show dust nearly as quickly.

I have a white (Glacier Pearl) one on order, hope it looks OK.

I'm down for white too. Think those (frankly a bit tacky) chromed plastic head and tail lamps will look better with white.

What happened to his nose? Looks like he was in a fight.

All prototype cars driven in the US have the badges removed.....and you think the CIA is paranoid!

Yes - he is takling about Renault Fluence.

That black Leaf is in the UK.

Edit: Maybe Denmark.

Who wants high-res pictures?





The author of the blog post was kind enough to pass those along for us.

You called it....Copenhagen! Though on Spanish plates.

What's that tube on the top?

Wind speed indicator?

Less seriously: a wind generator, laser cannon, noise-for-blind generator, ...

Does that look like it has the slightly darker interior we've been told to expect?

That was my guess too, but hard to imaging how effective/accurate it would be in that location.

the "tube" only shows in the first picture, not the second. My guess: It was a thermos he put on top of the car temporarily, at least that's what it appears to be, since it's only in 1 picture, its not part of the car.

I see it in both pictures, a tube supported by about four little legs.

Presumably it would read something proportional to wind speed, easily calibrated in still air to give true relative wind speed.

Mitch...it's not where you expect it to be in the second picture. In the first it looks like it's up next to the antenna. In reality it's on the roof roughly above where the passenger seat backrest would be.
