Default Time to ditch Lexus?

So I've been putting off buying a new car for a while, waiting for the industry to change. It has, largely because of Toyota, but not fast enough!

My next car will be electric, not getting one would be Evil for many reasons, mostly these:

So the question is, will Lexus stop messing around and make one already? I will have an energy independent house running on green energy, and dammit, I'll even trade in my Lexus for a Nissan Leaf if that's what it takes!

How much longer do I need to wait?

LOL, the part where Putin told that French dude off was cool. Shows he got *****. When the French were whining about us going to Afghanistan and Iraq, Bush should've done the same thing.

Why do I have a feeling this will be moved to the debate forum?

You should watch all the 9 parts of the movie, see what crap country mother russia is.

Liliputin sure has *****. Is that why USA is full of ruskies who don't wanna go back? Maybe people want to be able to live normal lives instead of having some imperical maniac will ***** run their lives.

And the Iraq war was just as awesome of a success as the chechen war. Though I gotto say, Liliputin beat Bush at that one. Murdered/tortured waaay more innocent people. Heck, be literally destroyed a nation and put a criminal murdered in Kadirov in charge. Russians must be proud!

US is full of ruskies ? Perhaps you meant to say full of Russian/Ukrainian Jews, get your facts straight. The majority of so called 'ruskies' here in the US are Ukrainian immigrants (Ukraine is not Russia). Ask any Russian in Moscow or St. Petersburg if they want to live in USA, see what they'll tell you....

Apparently, you were either born here or lived in the US for too long and may have forgotten what Russia is. To run a country like Russia, you need a person like Putin.

And don't start with Iraq war please....WMD's were not found, Saddam Hussein's link to Al Qaeda FAILED. Oh wait, let's change the regime and hang the man! And screw the U.N., we're going! Or maybe the bombing of Yugoslavia was justified?

Nissan looks promising - 100 mile range and priced about $25K plus the $7500 tax credit.

Riight. And what did I say?

Russia needs a blood thirsty dictator like Putin because Russians are a bunch of vodka drinking barbarians. They don't know any different.

Tesla Model S is awesome, yeah I hear they're taking deposits!!! But that's a long way away, 2012 at best? I was hoping to buy a new car sooner.

I agree with this statement, but ask anyone outside of moscow and see what they'll tell you.
