- It looks very exotic.
- It is relatively lightweight for it's price range and extremely lightweight for a hybrid.
The key question for me is: will it be fun to drive? Most reviews have been positive so far. It will be slower than an M6 (or even an M4) for sure, but it *may* be more fun to drive in a mountain road - especially compared to an M6.
If it is a lot of fun to drive, I could see myself accepting the tradeoff of less performance for the price.

If the manufacturer claims 22 miles on electric power only, it may only get 15. My Leaf claims 100, I get 70 if I'm lucky.
