flatcat19 Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 The Leaf is a cool car. Keep looking at it-it's the future. 1 Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 That is a very smart man right there. I would love to pick his brain. Quote Link to comment
Andres131313 Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 Make them sexy at least. I live a few miles from the tesla plant and the model s is so sexy Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 How much more does the Tesla cost? When the Leaf was released it was getting twice the mileage the Roadster was getting at a fraction of the cost. Nothing wrong with the Leaf. Quote Link to comment
Andres131313 Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 Style>price In my opinion Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 But the price ends up being greater than the car. But the Teslas are pretty good looking. For sure. Quote Link to comment
Jesse C. Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 I would not mind a Leaf for everyday commuting. Quote Link to comment
Andres131313 Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 My ears are too sensitive to drive an electric car. Ever time my neighbor drives his I want to scream from the whine of the motor. Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 The good thing about the leaf is the technology contained in it. It might be a bad looking car but is a good step in the tech of a mass produced EV. 1 Quote Link to comment
RatVonDude Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 voted by forbes and jd powers as the #1 car to avoid in 2015. There were a couple of nissans, mitsubishi's in the list :console: :yawn: http://www2.forbes.com/business/15-new-cars-to-avoid/ Quote Link to comment
Andres131313 Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 Remember seeing a lot of there's? The leaf looks like Kate upton compared to this. Quote Link to comment
paradime Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 Smart car, or stupid hipster bullshit? I think we know were this is going. This stick of shit two seater shoebox has a 1.0L I3 70HP engine and yet only gets 34mpg city / 38 hwy and 36 mph Average. Here comes the stupid part, a Golf TD gets 38 average mpg, so does the Ford Fiesta, and the Scion iQ gets 37 average. All of these other high milage cars seat four, and have actual room for stuff, you know like groceries and pets. 2 Quote Link to comment
paradime Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 How much more does the Tesla cost? When the Leaf was released it was getting twice the mileage the Roadster was getting at a fraction of the cost. Nothing wrong with the Leaf. About $70K more, but I don't think the leaf gets 400 mile per charge though. I know the Leaf doesn't accelerate 0-60 in 3.7 sec, or have a Lotus tuned chassis and suspension, 6 piston Brembo brakes, carbon fiber body, or custom 16X8 alloy wheels. Not to mention Passion. I agree nothing wrong with the Leaf, but it's not a Tesla Roadster S 1 Quote Link to comment
paradime Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 For the record, when the Leaf was introduced in 2011 it got you 84 miles on a single charge. Cruising on the highway at 55 miles per hour, the 2011 Roadster S 2.0 could travel 300 miles on a single charge. The new S can go 400 miles. 1 Quote Link to comment

q-tip Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 Brother's Tesla S in my driveway. I would take the yellow brick any day Quote Link to comment
paradime Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 X2 Q. You know that inevitable question when drinking with buddies "If you could have any car..." I have always said a Datsun 510. I know myself and if a owned a Mclaren P1 I would be too self conscious to drive a car like that. If I had $2mil to build what ever car I wanted I would build a 510 that was faster than the P1. What can I say, I'm a simple guy. 2 Quote Link to comment

RatVonDude Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 I used to be curious about this bike, but now these things kinda annoy me. If you are gonna reissue a Royal Enfeild why the ugly one? Solo seat , fake hardtail, pre 65 look with post honda blinkers, down tuned fuel injection for you're safety. 500cc that probably bottoms out at 70mph. Over 400 pounds, Spoked tires for a street bike, lastly no room between bars and seat, lame riding possition. Every thing is one big contradiction, British bike made in India. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 SRT4 was a dog turd. Sure-it was better than a Neon. But not by much. If they were so shit hot why make them for only two years... and where are they today? I haven't seen one in 8-10 years. Totally forgot about them. Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 It was the last dying thrashings of the dodge neon. Quote Link to comment
