A Strange Atrocity by Nissan

I've always thought Nissans had decent design put into them. One of my college friends even had a 240SX with some serious work done to it. It was a worthy adversary to anyone at the track. This strange vehicle breaks away from the stylish with its weird design. I'm counting three rows of separate lighting assemblies: fog lamps at the bottom, round lamps that look out of place while they overlap the grille, and blinkers mounted on the hood. The rear of the vehicle looks like someone at Volvo had a seizure while drawing the original sketch with its awkwardly shaped tail lamps. The side profile continues this unusual trend with giant fenders and a very high front bumper that doesn't quite line up with the rest of the car. Also, the driver may have ample headroom, but it looks as though those sitting in the rear will be slapping their heads on the roof or, alternatively, cranking their necks at right angles to make themselves more comfortable if you could call that comfortable. Article is by Inside Line.

Discuss, and try not to toss your breakfast.

This may be worse than the Cube.

I try to surpress it but when I see cars like this parked somewhere I do think it advertises to the public "I just got my drivers license and don't park near me because I probably will hit your car later on when I come home at 2:00am."

I've never been a fan of Nissan. I don't understand how the Cube ever made it to production. This thing has a "face" that would even make its mother cringe! Congratulations Nissan...you are different. Now how about making something that people would actually want in their driveway?

This should be the definition of how NOT to design a car.
