The latest sales figures are out and what may come as a surprise to a lot of auto experts is that the Nissan Leaf is handily outselling the Chevy Volt.

Or as I like to call it, the ObamaCar. Kinda goes with ObamaCare.

I am not a huge fan of either one of these cars but I honestly have to tell you if I had to choose one I would no doubt choose the Volt and here's why:

1. It has a much larger interior.
2. In my tests, the electric range is longer on the Volt and if I lived in a cold climate the Volt would womp the Leaf in cold weather.
3. It's better looking inside and out.
4. The gas backup system is the smarter way to do things than pure Electric. Those Leaf drivers WILL get stranded, trust me.

So the Volt is the better overall car but in this game where people are buying PURELY for image and social statement, the fact that the Volt isn't PURE electric, hurts it among this audience.

You may disagree with me, but the Leaf owners I've spoke to all say that was the main reason.

There are other reasons that I will share in the comments once people have posted their opinions but for now, let's hear why YOU think the Leaf blows away the Volt.

Pun intended.

On a side note it blows my mind that even with all of the publicity and hype surrounding these cars from a media saying how much people wanted theses types of vehicles that only 6,000 units have sold so far in 2011. TOTAL for BOTH cars!!!

Also, a happy 4th of July to our American readers!
