Ugly SUV Faceoff!

[SeanPlunk]

Nissan showed off their new SUV today, and I think it's at least a contender. Here are the 3 nominees in no particular order:

Nissan Juke:

Aztek, hands down.

Aztek, hands down.

I have to agree, but the front end of the Juke is pretty rough...

In pictures the Aztek takes the cake

BUT in real life, that Cube is the ugliest piece of junk ever created. I have found myself laughing at a cube driver at a traffic light a couple times. That rear retard window just takes the cake

I actually think the Cube is so bizarre looking I kind of like it. I'm not saying it's not ugly - it is, but something about it is kind of cool :lmfao:

I doubt there will be a suv uglier then the Aztek in my life time.

[jedhead]

Aztek, hands down.

I agree. The company I worked for got a bunch of them from GM for a song; $12k off the sticker for company cars with a guarantee buy back at end of lease from GM.

The Juke and Cube are both actually okay with me. They have quirks but quirks are part making a design statement, otherwise you end up with a perfectly fine, but ultimately uninspired ho-hum line, like on a typical Merc sedan for example. :nutkick: The Aztek is a weapon against humanity.

^lolol

In black, I dont find the Aztek that bad. Dont get me wrong, it's still ugly as hell, but the Cube is just far worse. It's a car made for retards that think they are trend setters [or thought they were]

The Juke has a funky front end and the cube is the cube but nothing tops the Aztec.

When I hear Aztek all I can think of is "Ding Ding! Here comes the shit-mobile."

Nissan could have made the Juke pretty cool if it had ditched the bonnet lights, moved those round lights up and integrated them into the grill ala a stylized nissan frontier grill. Then it would have been a neat looking car.

The Cube makes me want to vomit every time I see one. Its a "me too" attempt at the already ugly Scion xB. Its like Nissan tried to 1up Toyota with a quirky hipster "i'm even more outside the norm than you" theme by slapping the most unappealingly dreadful design decisions onto a car as they possibly could. I don't know if its the look of it or the fact that i can see the gears turning in the heads of the stereotypical design department that dreamed it up that thinks the public dumb enough to buy something simply because it is different for the sake of being different.

The Aztek bugs me, but not as much as the cube. I just think it was one bad decision after another that somehow got approved by a incompetent management based on gimmicks and doo dads that no one who bought it used. They set out to create a useful outdoor vehicle but they ended up with a bastardized minivan with an ice chest.

I guess my problem is the objective of the Aztek was good, the execution was just beyond terrible. The objective of the Cube is just so annoyingly typical of hipsterdom and anti-mainstream mainstream design that they produced the amalgamation of all that i hate in this world.
