Surely since Nissan didn't officially sell Leafs here it does seem a little unrealistic to expect them to do anything under our laws.
From a pr point of view they might do something or they might just abandon launching here.
Yes and no; any losses they incur as a result of having to honour a warranty for a Japanese car would surely be charged back to Nissan Japan, just as the profits would be sent back there had they sold the cars here in the first place. Other than the inconvenience, it needn't cost Nissan NZ anything.
