OT- Oh, dear God....
Remember those great looking "cars of the future" in all the sci-fi
movies and ads? Well, behold "The Car Of The Future", circa 2009: http://www.nissanusa.com/cube/ And if you think _that_ looks bad, stick a spoiler on the aft roof in the "Krom" model. ("Conan will not buy Cube... Conan will slay designers of Krom Cube in a river of blood.") Thank you very much, but I'll take a Spinner. Pat |

You know, three arms on one side, none on the other. What the hell is the point of putting a tiny spoiler on something that has the aerodynamic finesse of a giant shoebox? I'm still trying to figure if I hate the design of this or the Aztek worse...I think the Aztek might win by a hair, as there is something _subtlety_ horrifying about it, like in a H.P. Lovecraft story... a twisted and unwholesome geometry inflicted upon mankind by something from another dimension where 2+2=Pi. At least with the Cube the ugliness is all up-front and obvious. You don't have to sit around and consider "Why would anyone make a split rear window in a _horizontal_ direction?". When they unveiled the Aztek the effect on the crowd was very similar to the first time they saw the "Homer". First the dead silence...then the disbelief and gasps...then the laughter. With the Cube, it would just be the laughter followed by a profound sense of pity for Nissan. If the Cube is the answer, I shudder to think what the question was. :-D Pat |
