I'd just like them to supply SkyActiv-D engines to the CX-5's they offer for sale in the U.S. That would be a nice "fueler" to pair with our LEAF.

"If it had 50% more" it would be more expensive.

They are trying to find a balance between range and price. The most beneficial use of the Leaf is as a second "commuter car" for families that already have a car they can use for longer trips. Most commuters drive less than 35 miles round trip in one day. For them it is better to have a range that matches their needs at a lower price rather than spend more on range that is not needed.
