thats what alot of people said about the 370Z when it debuted and even to this day, but once they actually see it in person they change their opinion very quickly. to me, i dont look at the idx as a car that's meant to be beautiful, but rather a car that's meant to have character, and if they make the right choices with the drivetrain i can see that to be very true. personally i like the way the car looks, but not everyone is going to agree with that and i respect that. i've actually talked with that designer in the video at the events they were holding in southern california, and yes he does in fact work with randy. just keep an open mind on this though guys is all im saying...it may not look great to you, but just like the juke it may actually be fun to drive and in the end that is what we all really want.

I think the ID is REALLY ugly, not sure why you'd design something to not be beautiful. Oh, I still throw up every time I see a Joke too

I don't care, I wouldn't drive one, never have. I'd MAYBE consider driving one if Nissan provided just to see if I could break it.

Same thing with a Miata, might be "fun" to drive, it IS the quintessential sports car. Still gay as hell... (Same thing with the FRZ, although I just dislike the looks of the FRZ more than anything)

my point still stands though, different people will react to the design on a car differently. myself for example....i think the current maxima is an ugly car, but since you have one or had one you obviously like it, doesnt make it a bad car, i just dont like the design of it
