But that’s all changed now as European automotive journalist have named the all electric Nissan Leaf as their car of the year.
The $32,780 Leaf, which will hit the dealership in the U.S. next month, also just received the coveted EPA rating of 99 mpg.
Nissan will official start selling the Leaf in California, Oregon, Washington, Arizona and Tennessee in December. Sales of the car for the rest of the country are expected to start in 2011 with Texas and Hawaii getting the EV next.
