Nissan's LEAF Advertising Sets An Example

by A Siegel

Last evening, my better 95+% was flipping through the channels and received the rare: stop, go back to that.  What was that?  A Nissan "innovation" advertisement in which the Nissan Leaf played a prominent roll, "if you never needed to buy another gallon of gas ..."

Watching this well-done advertisement made me think of Who Killed The Electric Car? and how GM used black-and-white anti-promoting advertising in relation to the EV-1 (See after the fold for examples.)

Before I get to the energy, I'd like to let everyone know that I've created a bracket challenge for the 2010 FIFA World Cup @ ESPN.com.  You can sign up here.  If that link doesn't work for some reason, go to the ESPN Fantasy Games homepage here. Group name: dailykos wc challenge Password: dkos Hope to see everyone there.  BTW, if no one else beats me to it, I plan on writing a World Cup preview diary, probably tomorrow.  With that, on to the energy!
