Based upon EPA five-cycle tests using varying driving conditions and climate controls, the EPA has rated the Nissan LEAF a driving range of 73 miles. Battery capacity decreases with time and use. Actual range will vary depending upon driving/charging habits, speed, conditions, weather, temperature, and battery age.

We're actually selling LEAFs right now and people like them.
The car is a lot more than a juiced up go-cart.
It's a perfectly functioning sub-compact car. The acceleration is great because you get 100% torque all the time with an electric motor.
That being said because of the range, it gets up to 136 miles in perfect conditions, it's not for everyone. If you're looking to replace your family's fleet of cars with a LEAF its the wrong choice.
That being said we were told the target demographic is early adopters who care about the environment and their status. (One of the quotes was "everyone has a Prius I need something more unique")
Haha, that being said I'm glad I made this thread. It's helpful to see what people's preconceived notions about a product are.

So the demographic is a bunch of nitwits with too much money and too little sense? Sounds about right.
