Also, I love the Camaro. I wouldn't buy a Leaf myself, but I have considered getting the Tesla.
There is NOTHING wrong with cars eventually going electric. It going to happen. I love my petroleum powered car, and as long as I can buy gas, I'll continue to drive one.
However, batteries are getting better. Electric cars ARE faster. They generally don't provide the visceral rush that a V8 (or V10/V12) provides as far as noise and raw excitement.
