"Nissan's getting a $1.4 billion loan from the U.S. Department of Energy to modify Nissan's Smyrna, Tenn., plant to produce the Leaf and its batteries. Groundbreaking for the battery plant is to take place in May. And a $98 million grant from the Department of Energy pays for 6,510 public recharging stations in Seattle, Phoenix, Tucson and San Diego, plus sites in Tennessee and Oregon."

I know headlights are moving further up the bonnet with every new model, but that's the first one I've seen where the lights go all the way to the A pillar.

I hadn't noticed that bit. Did they bring in a costume jewelry designer to work up that detail?
