everyone just has to have a Prius in thier line up!!!!! mmmkay

Another Volt’s killer….

how is it a volt killer it Electric only and a range of under 100 miles and will coast more then 30k so it not cheap either.

worst3-hey, im learning the diff. between the charger and the challanger…lol

Not a Volt killer, nor a Prius killer. Not even a lady killer. Still, it’s intriguing, and if the price is low enough, I’m game. For 30k, no thanks. For 18k, definitely. No, it will NOT replace my family car, so don’t even start that “but it only goes 100 miles and you will never be able to get out of town” crap. It’s a 2nd car, a daily driver, and one that will serve the likes of me well.

I just cannot see spending $30k+ for a small vehicle that looks like it should cost $15k. electric milage is one thing but styling still sells most cars. Why don’t manufacturers ever seem to get that.

I totally called the price on this one.

A4, they have not announced the price yet. They probably saw your comment before and felt that was good enough data for them

So you could buy a Z or a Leaf. Well that’s a no-brainer.

Or two Cubes.

if it dose charger to 80% in less then 30min with special connection it could possibly be good as a taxi for cities like NYC.\?

The more people they can convince to buy the Leaf the more gas will be left for the rest of us to enjoy cars like the Z.

As a Vancouver guy I never thought I’d hear myself say this, but Go Leafs!

@johnny,

Do they still call it “The Garage” or did the signs come down after GM went mams skyward?

LOL @ worst 3

Who told you this is a Volt killer? Madam, this thing is missing half the technology of the Volt and looks like a girly-boy car. Could you please provide some specifics as to why you’ve assesed this as a Volt killer? Emotional responses do not count.

haha i wouldnt call this a Volt killer at all, the Volt is a lot more of a car, offering a hell of a lot further range and you dont get stuck if the battery runs out of juice. price tag of atleast $30,000 it isnt drastically cheaper than the Volt either when you compare what you get out of each car..

It’s still GM Place. And much like its namesake a beer that’s worth about a loonie costs 10 times that of your after tax dollars.

heavy business fleet sales? hmmm…..

Hard to pin this on a large variety of businesses as being practical for their needs. If I’ve made it this far, I’m probably pinching everything to just get by. Don’t see myself throwing down $30k for a little “business 5 door hatchback”.

Toyota is coming out with the Branch to challenge the Leaf. Ford will wait and just buy the technology from Toyota and Ford will call theirs the Turd!

psiclone
i was saying it was NOT a volt killer to Samintosh i most deferentially do not think it a volt killer, the biggest threat to the volt is the volt it self (mostly price and use of new tech with always risky) then the Prius. but if i did yes lol @ me.

depends on marketing…if it suits your company to be able to say they have an EV fleet and buy renewable power from the electric company, that’s a very green (therefore marketable) thing to say…

comparing this thing to other cars based on price is just dumb, though…cars like this aren’t about price/performance comparisons…it’s a freaking EV…a new genre of car…the first models are always expensive, but get cheaper as they evolve…the question is, how are you going to react when gasoline powered cars become 2x or 3x as expensive as an equally performing EV? ;P

I would buy the Leaf by Nissan over any piece of sh#@ Buick or GM for that matter. The japanese and koreans are far more ahead than we are. What does GM have to offer- the Aztek? Come on. What about all those ugly nasty cars from Buick- look like they popped right out of my toilet. Be American- Buy high quality cars from Lexus, Toyota, Nissan, and Honda.

What’s it feel like to be a mindless drone NMOFGMJack@$$?

Does it come with a rake?

lol @ johnny… “go leafs”… you just talked me out of any wish I had for this cars success. I could never support the Leafs.

on the subject though. talk is cheap. to Nissan: release a price and start pre-orders now. to all the “I’ll buy a leaf” tools: close you mouth, whip out your checkbook, and start writin!!

Ha ha ha ‘a rake’ good one!

Too bad they can’t turbocharge it, they could call it the Leaf Blower.

I can see high school and college kids already planning a new prank called Turning Over a New Leaf, literally….

I can see our next ENG vehicle being a Leaf, or another EV – Because Green is Universal!

Do these change color before they fall from trees?

i think not, and you dare to muck up the good name of the leaf family with your technology and fuel efficiency.

worst 3, my sincere apologies. Your reply was that of a gentleman considering my mistake. I looked too quickly and grabbed the wrong name from above. Not only was that post was meant for Samintosh but I happen to fully agree with your posts.
