What the fuckshit? The fact that anyone would pay money for this cements my faithlessness in humanity.

*facepalms*

What blows my mind is how Nissan can improve the interior so much and screw up the exterior equally as bad. This car clearly represents over-styling at its worst.

Honestly though the x6 looks a billion times better.. I've seen a few in real life in Manhattan, and they look really good honestly.

Same here. The X6 is not a bad-looking vehicle. Not pretty, but definitely not as bad as say a PT Murano.

Hey people don't be like that...look at the bright side of things. At least when the top is down we can see who is driving it (thus bought it) and make fun of him, throw things at him and isolate him socially. OR make him see a doctor specializing in retards with no taste at all (that concerns the designers of the car and the people who took the decision to release a picture of this...thing.

P.S. The X6 is one of the worst looking/pointless/hateproducing cars. (imho)

LOL
this and the pt cruiser ones, why?
Do people realize these are cars for middle age moms?
No seriously, my mom has a pt and my aunt has a murano. They are for transporting children, groceries, and other parenty things. Like christmas trees. It's an inbetween for suvs/minivans and regular cars/station wagons that are styled oddly. This is the stock version of when top gear sawed the roof of the people carrier. It's not supposed to be a convertible and you can tell by how awful it looks with the roof up.

I agree with wizegui. Looks like a PT Loser roadster on stilts. Or an old golf cabrio. Which means it looks like a picnic basket.

Which also means that they're going to sell a million of them. Especially in Southern California. (Why do you think the old Cabrio based on the Mk 1 Golf sold for so long?)

They sell TONS of cars that look like that to blonde women in SoCal. Sorry about the stereotyping, but that's the demographic that buys such cars, and they buy a LOT of them. Just ask thedguy if you don't believe me. For some reason, they think the picnic basket design looks cute and they just have to have it.

Of course, what they often do with it is take their new little "sports car" up to Mulholland and promptly go flying off one of the turns. Usually the second or third one they come to.... If they survive, they buy another one. images/smilies/tongue.gif

Okay, I'm done now. You all may stone me.

This is the closest thing to one of those PT Cruiser Cabriolets.....images/smilies/puke.gif

Can anyone tell me why the updated version of the Murano is so ugly?!
