Earlier we thrilled you with footage of the i-MiEV electric car in action. Now Mitsubishi has gone one step further and announced an official on-sale date for its upcoming eco-car.
Fleet sales will start in Japan this July with about 1,400 vehicles slated for leases to corporations and local authorities. Starting in April 2010, Mitsubishi plans to begin leasing the i-MiEV to the public.

In my opinion, Japan can keep it.

I think it's kinda cool. Trouble is it's going to be twice the price of a Prius and 3 times the price of a Smart.
They need to design cheaper, better batteries.

Is that car bigger then I think or is that lady really small?
Just wondering outloud if they chose a small model on purpose to make the car look larger.

For the price they're asking... The model better be included!
