Default Nissan Juke, you know you'll want one.

Think the guys that designed the Pontiac Aztec

have found employment with Nissan since Pontiac went bust.
Unfortunately someone gave them some crayons to play with.
Introducing the Nissan Juke.

So, Ssang Yong designers are doing a bit of 'after hours' work by the looks of things, it really does have a face like a kicked in garbage bin.

As for the Pontiac, Im aware GM, Pontiac, Saab etc are all the same, tell me those wheels arent from the Saab parts bin :/

The Nissan Cube thing is a shocker also.

That atrocity definitely eclipses the Aztec...and just the other day I was thinking about how the X-Trail and Navara are such handsome cars..

Maybe Ford should hire some of these guys to make the Falcon less boring. Good on Nissan for releasing something that hasn't been watered down through 27 different design committees. I don't even mind it from this angle..

They just got 27 different designers to design one small part each and then joined them together instead

I don't mind it too much, maybe because the 'out there' style is popping up in many cars these days and I'm getting used to the look.

The front is god awful and it looks like it's AWD...and if it were, it would probably be a decent little car.

Car design is getting uglier. I don't know if it's a sign of the future, or just that people want to try things that have never been done. This thing is hideous, so is the Megane, the new Focus and almost everything that comes out of the US.

P.S. I like the AU and still think the Nissan Joke is rotten
