Is having five different versions about two or three too many? Will it lead to confusion? Will be interesting to see the pricing structure.

A fascinating watch, thanks for sharing

He's very opinionated isn't he!

My main concern remains those buttons "buried" within the timber edging. They're not at ALL clear if you're driving along and don't appear to have any texture to make them out by touch. There are haptic so if may be you get a slight jolt when running your fingers across with a heavier one if you press one but nevertheless I can see those causing controversy. I could see a set of stick-on circles becoming available...

Gloucester, that attachment was very interesting and the video IMHO was nicely done, normal guy with his own set of reference notes. Mentioning the Haptic Buttons got me thinking and I found some comments that makes me a little more informed. Never really seen or tried these before, could be a weird feeling.
Now this Ariya is beginning to look an interesting buy and as you mentioned there are 5 options with distance and acceleration variables which is a wide choice, but at what price. Did you notice when the Bonnet was opened - there were No Struts OMG - Dace 😉👍

Ariya expected to be the most aerodynamic Nissan crossover ever built - Dave 😊

Ariya is expected to become the company’s most aerodynamic crossover, targeting a drag coefficient (Cd) of 0.297*. From the precisely shaped body lines to strategically placed air ducts, Ariya’s advanced aerodynamics are anticipated to enhance the long-range performance of its all-electric powertrain. All these efforts, led by the engineering teams from around the globe, will result in an expected increase of range that will be made official later in the year.

Some more facts : Ariya expected to be the most aerodynamic Nissan crossover ever built - Dave 🧐
“At an advanced wind tunnel research facility near Paris, a team of Nissan technicians has a special power at their fingertips. With the flick of a switch, they're able to precisely control the forces of nature – everything from a miniscule breeze right up to the winds in the most powerful tropical storms just to perfect the art of automotive aerodynamics. The objective is to reduce the aerodynamic drag of the vehicle, which basically means making it easier for the car to cut through the air.”
