Welcome to the forum @Philariyan! Is the Ariya going to be your first EV?
Welcome @Philariyan! I completely agree with you, I think the Ariya is going to signify a huge turning point for Nissan. The styling is going to win a lot of people over.Yes, it would be my first EV and first new car since my 1968 BMW 2002.
I like the fact that Ariya is a model Nissan is using to signal their comeback from financial and management mistakes with an emphasis on excellent design. the car is beautiful, sporty. Nissan has 10 years of EV building with the Leaf. The company knows how to build cars to high quality standards. I believe the car will be efficient. The change from air cooling the battery to water and using a heat pump are important to me. They have worked hard at reducing air resistance and weight and noise. The e4orce drive system sounds very promising and the powerful motors suggest quickness. I like their incorporating design elements that are Japanese in flavor. I have always loved Japanese art.
I could go on...
