Yes I like it and yes if I had to buy a EV then this would be my choice.
Im hoping this is the start of a new successful chapter for the brand, and with success hopefully we will get to see some more exotic/sportier models aswell.

After the Pu-Ra presentation I was more than a little sceptical but the reality of this car is much better looking than I was expecting.

I'm not sold on hybrid/pure electric cars yet but of everything out there, and given a good dealer network, I would consider this one. I look forward to future models and even seeing one in the flesh. What it drives like and how it feels inside would also be major factors obviously.

Until then I'm sticking with the fleet of internal combustion engined cars. Any spare cash is currently being expended on a Beta Coupe restoration.

I've driven the all electric Peugeot 208 which is the same engine/platform as we have one at work. A great car to drive but doesn't have a long range in the scheme of things, it normally manages around 180 miles with real driving.

It is a good looking car in my opinion, with some nice styling features.  Clever the way some of the Pu-Ra features have been incorporated.  It is good that they have now announced that there'll be a mild hybrid version as well as the all electric version.  And excellent that they have announced participation in the World Rally Championship.  I think mild hybrids are the sweet spot at the moment, and I drive one myself - a Ford Puma.  It is also good to see the recent announcements on hydrogen power from BMW, Honda and GM, as I think this direction is better than all electric.  Hopefully Stellantis will pick up on this at some stage.

And don't forget Toyota (partnering with BMW), the largest - by volume of vehicle sales; second in revenue - car company in the World. They started back in 2014 and have the Mirai.
