Nissan Juke

[Ultra]

A little wild on the front end and the hoodlights but something about this design is appealing in a weird way.

Not the usual desing, indeed...
I read that Nissan is recalling his cars too: that's competition on every front!

Well, as the resident uniformed-loudmouth-at-the-end-of-the-bar naysayer on good design, I have only this to add:

With the homogenization of automotive design, the only "new" elements we seem to be seeing are either impractical oddities with little or no consideration of safety, weather protection, etc., or designs like this one - a generic, bulbous two-box design where the holes have been reshaped and/or moved around somewhat.

What holes? The holes where air goes in (grills, scoops, ventiports, and louvers), the holes where light goes in (windows), and the holes where light comes out (lamps).

I give it two huzzahs, on a scale of one to five huzzahs.
