The Nissan Cube annoyed me enough at it was.

    At least the Nissan Cube was unique. I’m slightly more than mildly infuriated that “shrunken SUV” seems to be the new standard vehicle shape. Hate this “crossover” trend. lol

      Spacious and luxurious without being a huge tank on the road. What’s not to like?

        If that’s your thing, you do you. I’m not against them existing, I just think they’re ugly and excess and wouldn’t want to drive one, personally. Half or more of the crossover styles, IMO, look like rollerskates, lol, and I just can’t take them seriously (once you see it, you can’t unsee it).

          I agree with the you do you thing but the manufacturers no longer seem interested in making other kinds of cars these days

          I just don’t know why anyone cares, you can’t see the thing when you’re using it anyway.

        Yeah, pretty much anything is better than SUV as commuter vehicle. It only became a thing in the first place because of poorly-crafted environmental regulation.

        I don’t know, maybe the fact that it was a fucking cube?

        I mean… Don’t you think this is a bit of a far fetch? A car wouldn’t look like this it would be ridiculous!

        Like with stripes or a big round shell that it protrudes from? Don’t get me wrong, it’s a cool-looking animal, but it would look dumb as hell if someone tried to make a car actually look like one imo. Maybe a spaceship or a deep-sea submersible, but not a car.

    I used to be able to differentiate car brands in the blink of an eye, each brand had pretty distinct features. Nowadays it’s a pretty boring blend, apart from a few luxury brands perhaps.

    another mildly infuriating thing: the diagonal bar on the capital n looks thicker than the other lines! well, at least it isn’t barely visible (used to be really thin with full hinting on ubuntu)
