He says Juke appeals to buyers interested in performance and those looking for something fun. Nissan seems to be onto something. Juke sales have been downright impressive, with many buyers coming from other auto brands.. Juke had its best sales ever last month with more than 5, sold. From 8, sold in , Juke sales climbed to 38, last year. To accentuate its unique look for the new version, Nissan designers have played more heavy on a V-shape on the front.
The aptly named Nissan Cube was produced for more than 20 years before it was discontinued in Not bad for a car that looks like someone stuck four wheels and an engine on, well, a cube.
It is probably unsurprising that a car that looks so ridiculous actually drives quite well. Otherwise, what else would it be good for? That explains its three generations and two decade life span. The Nissan Cube was a reliable little runabout that offered quite a large and clear interior.
A small circular rug is featured on top of the dashboard — why I hear you ask? Well your guess is as good as ours. A rippled roofline is just another odd quirky feature that Nissan have thrown in for good measure. Possibly the one model that can feel hard done to by being included on this list.
We have to give Hyundai some credit here. A regular sporty look is complimented by a smooth body and low roofline. Users of the Tiburon RD2 also note its reliability, with some going strong even after clocking over , miles. As we said they quickly rectified the headlights problem and have since gone on to produce some great looking cars.
Fed up with negotiating for your car? It'd be better if it was just a hatch and lowered an inch and a half but what ever. The Lexus Predator grille was a smash-hit with its intended audience: It gave Chinese rich people a car that stands out from others I'm pretty sure it's the same guy who approved the "Cat's in the cradle" ad without asking "Can I hear the whole song so I can be sure the next verse doesn't totally ruin our message?
I find myself bothered by the new Ford Super Duty headlights. The brackets are to hold all the engine parts inside. Jk Ford people. I'm trying to become more Ford friendly.
How about the new Lexus UX crossover, which has the funky grille along with some truly horrifying wheel wells. Seriously, there has to be a foot of wheel gap at the rear corners.
Outback wheel wells have bothered me for a while. The wheel and tire isn't even remotely concentric with the wheel well when viewed from the side. You can't accidentally berkeley it up that bad. Between , modern styling reached a point where many body styles had been very well resolved after a couple of decades in the post-aerodynamic age.
Almost all cars looked pretty decent - pleasant overall shape, logical proportions, clean, sensible detailing. However, there came backlash from the buying public that everything "looked the same". Now, those of us here all know that perception was false In response, manufacturers set out to inflict dramatic, unmistakeable brand identity on their formerly handsome cars. Understatement was discarded in favor of drama and polarization. What it actually looked like was made subservient to how much attention it could grab I can't exactly disagree with you, but I will point out that the same trend was kind of going on in the late 50s, and a lot of the world still idolizes those years as the best styled American cars.
I mean, I'm not sure that being different to just to be different is a BAD thing. There are companies whose design ethos I heartily dislike right now, but there are a couple companies building gorgeous stuff too.
I wonder which of the design elements we find distasteful today will be thea well-loved icon 25 years from now. Rolls-Royce plus Pininfarina sounds like a winning combination; alas the resulting Rolls-Royce Camargue was not a car to be celebrated. Instead, the Italian styling — influenced by the angular, minimalist trend of the era — tended to accentuate the worst elements of Rolls-Royce design to create a slab-fronted, slab-sided, straight-edged monstrosity that looked like a cluster of fridges welded together.
