I guess I am an exception, I don't claim to be environmentally friendly, I just buy fun "toys" that work for me. 
Oh and I see now why Leaf would be useless for your situation, but I don't think the purpose of it to get everyone ditch their gas cars and rush getting one. We are at early adopter stage, I am basically testing it for Nissan, hence they provide free charging station.

codetrap, you say that you are not terrible concerned about footprint yet you bring it again in your post. Are you sure, you are not in denial?
Also, I am not sure if you are reading what I was saying, especially in my last post about its impressive performance and range needs. Maybe you have different lifestyle where you drive 200 miles daily and tow a boat, then i could understand your point... And I could agree with you that Leaf is impractical and useless for you. However, not everyone can afford the luxury of driving so much daily and towing a boat. Frankly, I see Outlander more of a toy now where I would need it to go skiing or camping hence it gets driven less miles. Its size, AWD and inefficiency has no need in my 5 day work commute. Sitting in a traffic in Outlander is not a pleasurable experience for me. Space is not an issue either, it's even cheaper for me to drive to Costco 2x times to carry 14000 BTU A/C and 55" LCD then trying to cram both in Outlander in one trip, although both would fit in Leaf as well:

You are thinking of older LCDs or Plasmas, although that still never stopped me. There is no need for that for LED TV

I would've too, but I am probably not as rich as you. It would've been over 10k more for it which would never pay off.
