Hmmm šŸ¤”

"About 17,000 miles separate the magnetic North Pole from the magnetic South Pole, and the Ariya will need to conquer some incredibly difficult roads to make the trip ā€” deep snow, steep mountain roads, and scorching-hot deserts are on the menu. Working jointly with Nissan engineers, Arctic Trucks prepared the EV for Mother Nature's worst but went to great lengths to retain as many stock parts as possible."

or sure, itā€™s nit a good lookā€¦but never fear.
As I said earlier, not likely to see it until 2050 with Nissans slow roll outsā€¦and thatā€™s not even including recalls šŸ¤£

That's -- well that's a thing..? I don't know how I feel about it. I love the whole retro-"70s vision of 2000" vibe they got going but I am not a huge fan on the actual execution of it..

Anyways, this thing will never see anything close to production so, no point in dwelling too much on it lol - would love to see what a production version might end up looking like though if they did.

anyone here follow the entire story? who was right/wrong?

my very basic understanding of it is Nissan accuses Ghosn of using corporate funds for personal use amongst other things and Ghosn says it was all a set up to replace him with a Japanese national. then the whole escape in a Piano box thing too

There's not enough info to go on so far.

But, I personally don't like Ghosn because Nissan design got really weird and disgusting shortly after he came on board. Not that Nissan was great before, but he forced way too much French weirdness onto most Nissans and reduced the quality too.

Seems he didn't have too much influence on the RWD-based vehicles, but he absolutely was involved in the crappiness of Nissan FWD decline
