Agreed ... the J12B ... will be around sometime.
However if the J12B makes it to the market that soon then Nissan will have a real hard time selling the e-power,
at least if it still looks exactly the same as the former J12 !

I still can't find a "real life" video of the Ariya when it's out being tested on the open road rather than simply being examined in a car showroom.
Yet supposedly they ARE now being made - here's how the robots do it:

Nissan has a great gasoline car to compete with their new J12 QQ.
However I do hope they hurry with rthe Ariya EV because their sole EV Leaf in 2022 is, IMHO, no longer enough with great new EVs appearing these days !

First drive: 2022 Nissan Ariya prototype review
Airy, comfy and characterful, Nissan’s electric SUV is very charming, but ambitious prices and so-so range could hold it back
If you’re a tall driver, it might feel slightly cramped inside:
It’s just a shame that for tall drivers, the airiness will be compromised by the overly high seating position. A commanding driving position is what buyers want, but at 6ft2 I was uncomfortably close to the roof even on the lowest seat setting.

The main issue is it's a year too late - at least.
Had it been actually gone on sale when this topic was started it would have been ahead of the competition, but launching now means it's behind them and found to be sorely lacking in many areas as a consequence. Even comparison to a Tesla 3 finds it wanting, particularly in acceleration and lack of one-pedal mode (which my brother uses all the time).
Korean manufacturers appear to be able to get cars to market so much quicker.
