The Nissan Leaf has added another feather to its cap – the EV has been named as the Japanese Car of the Year for 2011-2012. The announcement was made at the Tokyo Motor Show, and this is the first time in the award’s 32-year history that an electric vehicle has won.
The win makes it a hat-trick of COTY titles for the Leaf, which has also taken the 2011 European Car of the Year and the 2011 World Car of the Year accolades. The last Nissan to bag both the European and Japanese Car of the Year titles was the Micra (or March), back in 1993.

Nissan car is sucks! Super high maintainence and tan chong is ….
yeah i couldn’t agree more, gtr owner here.
dude…stop complaining pls…remember…you pay for the quality…go for Proton if you insist :)
Outdated quality you meant?
Obviously it does not win due to the Styling. While it is not outright ugly, it is not to everyone’s taste, and reminds me of the tadpole. Well maybe it’s kawaii (cute) to the Japanese, i guess.
Nice,,,wonder will sell how much here.
Ya this Japanese electric car was the European car of the year. Why is it still not here yet?? 2013 maybe?
Designed by engineers, not car designers!!!
Tan Chong…When ah?

Hmm electric car. What happens if you run out of juice midway? it’s not as if you can tumpang to a petrol station to get a refill.
tow to nearest house and pay for electricity… and rent his house also.. charging will take 8 hours.. :D
Fast charging takes about 3 hours. Too bad if you ran out of juice in Grik or Hulu Trengganu!
