Nissan announced today the specs and pricing for their new Juke crossover and it starts at just below $20k. But this “thing” is so ugly they’d have to pay me to own it. I’m going to write this quick because I’m getting a little nauseous.

What The Heck?

What are the designers at Nissan smoking these days? I mean, Nissan isn’t really the first company you think of for beautiful cars, but this is getting ridiculous. The last few models that Nissan has introduced, including the cartoonish Cube and the “I’m-fine-with-it-not-looking-so-good-because-it-is-all-electric” Leaf, are real eyesores. I’m all for pushing the boundaries, but……wow. (I am happy to point out that the Leaf, Juke and Cube are all four-letter words)

Maybe Nissan decided that they’re current offerings were a bit dull? Don’t get me wrong, the Altima is a decent looking car, but it just blends in with the rest of the competition. In my mind, evolution is a good thing. We certainly don’t want to go back to the 90s where just about every car on the road looked like a used bar of soap. Am I preaching to the choir or am I just mental?
