Leaf

And by the way, Nissan insists the plural of Leaf, at least as far as the car goes, is Leafs.

(http://edition.cnn.com/2010/TECH/ptech/04/24/nissan.electric/index.html?eref=edition_technology&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed:/edition_technology+(RSS:)&utm_content=Google+Reader)
Does it sound differently to 'leaves'?
(like v and f sound different?)
Thanks.

In theory, leafs would be [lifs] and leaves would be [livz].
