Is it live yet? Post a link to the site where this appears? It'd be good to read the comments.
Also: I take exception to this aero commentary:

a drag coefficient if .28, a massive improvement over the .31 of the Nissan Versa on which the Leaf is based on. That is near supercar aerodynamics in a 4 door passenger car.

The Leaf's aerodynamics are pretty much
lousy.
(Also, an earlier Nissan press release says it's 0.29 -

They are nothing to write home about at all for a car with a more or less smooth belly pan, and minimal cooling requirements (compared to an ICE vehicle). They're 2 points worse than a dinosaur-burning Prius. They're 3 points worse than the sexy, dinosaur burning Mercedes E-series coupe.
Aside from the gimmicky headlights which every writer has latched onto, Nissan dropped the ball as far as aerodynamics go.
