The NYTimes said it will have much better style appeal than the TCH. I do have to admit I'm slightly interested/jealous
I doubt you'll be jealous when you see how Nissan supports them. Their president has basically said he does not believe in hybrids. They're selling them because they feel they MUST to satisfy California and a few other states. What is their plan for training mechanics? Toyota has sold so many hybrids, I have to believe that most dealers will be able to maintain them and that this will be true for years to come. Nissan? If the top management doesn't believe in hybrids, what chance will you have to get repairs once the warranty expires? None for me, thanks.
