   Dang, that is ugly.

   But will it become epic like the Gremlin?

   20 Years from now, the Nissan Joke will be a classic on the LeMon Raceway.

   Dooood!!!

   I kind of thought it looked a little like boob. All white and that red thingy pointing out.

   People bought the aztec so I’m sure there is a market for this.

   Gremlin won on dependability over looks. It was a fairly dependable car. And it is killer in demo derby’s.

   Looks better than a Aztek.
   That is not saying much though.

   It appears to me that todays car makers are in a world wide competition to develop the ugliest car possible. The Joke is but one entrant in a crowded field.

   The Juke and “crossovers” and “mini SUVs” are all nancypants station wagons desperately trying to convince you that they aren’t nancypants station wagons.

   Whenever I see a Mercedes station wagon, I weep at the thought that somebody wasted a perfectly good $70,000.

   Still better looking than the Cube

   Jennifer:

   I have a few anal protruberances that are better looking than the Cube.

   Just more proof that aesthetics are subjective.

   I think it’s kinda cool-looking.

    epic,

    Smart people buy crossovers because they are “tall wagons”. They want room for stuff, AWD for bad weather, a bit of ground clearance, and enough off-roadability to get the ice chests to the picnic tables at the church picnic once a year.

    Idiots buy full-on body-on-frame SUVs, slap on the Desert Duelers and the Warne winch and the full rack of KC Daylighters, all to get the ice chests to the picnic tables at the church picnic once a year.

    Tam: Indeed. There are people who like the looks of the VW Thing. I myself prefer the turned-up-to-11 ugly of a Land Rover, and I miss mine horribly. Still, there are genuinely beautiful cars out there, and the Joke will never, ever be on that list.

    People drive what makes them happy, god bless ’em. If a Joke makes you happy, that certainly says something very specific about you.

    Yep, it’s hideous.

    Mind you, this is coming from the guy who thinks Kia’s small SUV offering is unexplainably good looking, so maybe my judgement isn’t something you want to rely on here.

    And you know what you can do if you can’t take a joke…

    Meh.

    Looks like a smaller Murano. Big deal.

    And the Manuro is one ugly-assed machine.

    Parents bought an Explorer a few years back because
    Lots of carrying space,
    Actually has a frame(Dad insists), and
    Being that tall, it’s easier to get in and out of than a friggin’ roller skate with a motor.
    Plus, Dad has always liked vehicles that won’t scrape their undercarriage off if you need to get off a paved road.

    I know someone who bought a Cube because a) he gets a kick out of the gangsta hamster commercial, and b) he’s enthralled about the way the lights in the speakers change color with the music.

    I need new friends to hang out with. Actually, hermitage (?) looks pretty good now. No one would want me around since I am acquainted with someone who likes the Cube enough to buy it.

    mts1:

    The gangsta hamsters are advertising for the Kia Soul, a *much* better looking vehicle than the Cube. It also has the lights/speaker thing, as well.

    Oh, it’s a Soul. I saw the flat back end and thought Cube, my bad. It sounds like a thing people would want to steal, and hence not my cuppa tea. I’ll keep my unwanted Saturn with 251,000 miles and stick. I’ll leave it in Gary with the keys hanging in the trunk all night (did that in both Gary and Chicago) and see it still there in the morning.

    Og, you mention Land Rovers above in a good light. I’ve always wanted one, but have the impression they’re maintenance heavy. Is that your experience and you’re OK with it or are the issues overblown?

    Discovery Series IIs are competitively priced around my parts.

    Look to a new post for that info, it’s too much info for a comment.
