Witty headline neededNissan has decided to call their electric vehicle Leaf. I'm trying to think of an attention-grabbing headline to cover this story.http://www.autoblog.com/2009/08/0...car-in-person-in-depth-and-u-s-b/ http://www.motorauthority.com/nis...rs-off-leaf-all-electric-car.html |

Hows about
"Nissan unvails pig-ugly car with questionable environmental credentials"? |

Come on, we can do better.
Give me some puns.

Never mind. I decided to go for:
"Nissan goes green with Leaf" Which is pretty unimaginative. |

When the battery runs flat, you'll have to leaf it on charge. | ||||

Nissan branch out with Leaf?
Less chlorophll-ups with Leaf? Leaf it out - greener Nissan's bilious name? |

| Rodge |
"Nissan's new Green Leaf Tea-dious"
"Nissan stick's it to yota man with leaf" |

Leaves are usually flat.....rather like electric car batteries.....shurely there's a gag in there somewhere...? | ||||

Presumably, on contract hire, it becomes a Leaflet. | ||||

Do the batteries need initial charging when you buy it, as with a laptop or mobile? If so, you wouldn't be able to turn over a new Leaf ...

When new, the colour is bright but as autumn turns to winter they turn brown and fall apart. | ||||

But it's Japanese, not Italian! |

Ever seen a 1980's Honda? Not many around now. |

If its a leaf does it absorb C02 or is it the first to emit it?
Is it warranted against perforation ? Greenfly can get pretty voracious. What do you polish it with ? Baby Bio ? God this bank holiday is dull....(simcoe day here) |

I'd hazard a guess that they're releasing it in America first because they're used to leaf spring suspension. | ||||

When hit by a VW would the assailant be a Leaf-Cutter Beetle? | ||||
