The Nissan Cube annoyed me enough at it was.

        Like with stripes or a big round shell that it protrudes from? Don’t get me wrong, it’s a cool-looking animal, but it would look dumb as hell if someone tried to make a car actually look like one imo. Maybe a spaceship or a deep-sea submersible, but not a car.

        I mean… Don’t you think this is a bit of a far fetch? A car wouldn’t look like this it would be ridiculous!

    At least the Nissan Cube was unique. I’m slightly more than mildly infuriated that “shrunken SUV” seems to be the new standard vehicle shape. Hate this “crossover” trend. lol

      “Shrunken SUV” or “Took a normal 2- or 4-door and injected it with experimental growth hormones.”

      I swear I see one once a week that would make sense and carry the same number of people and stuff at half the overall vehicle volume.

      Spacious and luxurious without being a huge tank on the road. What’s not to like?

        Yeah, pretty much anything is better than SUV as commuter vehicle. It only became a thing in the first place because of poorly-crafted environmental regulation.

        I don’t know, maybe the fact that it was a fucking cube?

        Spacious? That is not true for most SUVs or crossovers when compared to their non-suv variant. (Looking especially at you, Mercedes!)

        Luxurious? The non-suv variants are just as luxurious, no difference there.

        If that’s your thing, you do you. I’m not against them existing, I just think they’re ugly and excess and wouldn’t want to drive one, personally. Half or more of the crossover styles, IMO, look like rollerskates, lol, and I just can’t take them seriously (once you see it, you can’t unsee it).

    I used to be able to differentiate car brands in the blink of an eye, each brand had pretty distinct features. Nowadays it’s a pretty boring blend, apart from a few luxury brands perhaps.
