That kind of brings up another thing I saw. The Leaf uses 205 wide tires vs the Prius' 185s. The owner had his Leaf parked right next to his 2nd gen Prius in his garage and you can see that the Leaf is just a little taller and a little longer. Overall the cars are quite comparable in size. Surprisingly, the Leaf doesn't weigh a horrible amount more either @ 3350 vs the Prius' 2900 lbs.
