limited supply, also limits the amount of dealers you have to equip to support it out of the starting gate. -- nm - znufrii Aug 9, 11:32 4
- The Altima Hybrid has been out for at least 4 years (I was thinking of getting one when I got my 2007 Hybrid Camry). - JaxSean Aug 9, 11:36 3
  - I saw one this weekend on 95. Seems like a poor long-term strategy. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 9, 11:37 2
    - My suspicion is that they leased the hybrid technology from someone (Toyota I think?) and are waiting for that to expire. - JaxSean Aug 9, 11:39 1
      - Looks like my suspicion is correctish. 2012 will probably be nationwide. -- (link) - JaxSean Aug 9, 11:42

- does the Leaf charge from a wall socket like the Volt can, or do you need a special charging station? -- nm - znufrii Aug 9, 11:35
