NISSAN LEAF

Cool commercial introducing the first mass-produced electric car- the Nissan Leaf. This car has the potential to change the way the world works. Sounds far-fetched I know.... but, not only will it be great for the environment, the US foreign dependency on oil will greatly decrease. Equals big economic change? Different international relations? I think so. Anyways, check out the commercial and click here to get more info from the Nissan website.
