nissan leaf reservations

If you aren't already on the list to purchase a 2011 Nissan Leaf, you're officially out of luck. During a speech to the Detroit Economic Club today, Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn announced that the U.S. market allotment for the first year's production of Leafs is already sold out more than six months before the EV even goes on sale. Nissan has now received 13,000 orders for the $32,780 electric car - quite impressive for a vehicle almost no one's driven.

If you're one of the 50,000 people that have signed up for updates on the Nissan Leaf EV, you're one step closer to purchase.

Nissan has announced preliminary details on the sale and lease of its all-new electric vehicle, outlining the steps necessary to get your hands on what the automaker is calling "the world's first all-electric, zero-emission car designed for the mass market."
