Fiat 500 / 2008
Opel/Vauxhaul Insignia / 2009
VW Polo / 2010
Leaf / 2011 / MSRP $33k
Volt/Ampera / 2012 / MSRP $37k
VW Golf / 2013 / MSRP $18k-$36k
Personally, I'd say Tesla is the winner, but they seem to go for cars under $37k MSRP. Considering that and the past "winners", I'd adjust my expectations (and definition) of "winner" accordingly.
