Nissan aims to be world No. 1 in green vehicles

And I wish them well. Let's hope this becomes the trend.

targeting cumulative sales of 1.5 million zero-emission vehicles with alliance partner Renault SA of France.

By when? I presume it's by 2017 since the next paragraph says that it's a six year strategy? Anyway, I hope this means that zero emission or lower emission cars become more affordable. I'd love to be driving a more efficient car, but the cost is a major issue. Hopefully it will lead to the manufacturers competing against each other, and that will help to drive innovation as well.

Green cars? Now there is a misnomer!

I will use my own two feet to get me where I am going!

Looks like people aren't very interested in buying those cars since they only sold 16,600 worldwide.

Go green, Ghosn, go go go!

Well, for a second car, sure, why not?

Unfortunately the Leaf is just still too expensive for the average Taro. Who would pay 4 million for a Nissan that, apart from the engine, is really not all that different from a Nissan Tiida that costs less than half the price?

A Toyota Prius is even 1.5 million yen cheaper.

I admire their courage in pushing through with this idea, but they still have a long way to go before they can take on hybrids.

papa, that Nissan Tiida always makes me laugh. Tiida means 'not' in Indonesian.
