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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (4 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 months ago (2 children)

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).

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

This is why I don’t care that I’m so ugly because I can’t see my own face.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Exactly! Let the rest of the world deal with it, it functions properly for me.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Spacious? That is not true for most SUVs or crossovers when compared to their non-suv variant. (Looking especially at you, Mercedes!)

Luxurious? The non-suv variants are just as luxurious, no difference there.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

"Shrunken SUV" or "Took a normal 2- or 4-door and injected it with experimental growth hormones."

I swear I see one once a week that would make sense and carry the same number of people and stuff at half the overall vehicle volume.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's a car-shaped car, idk what the problem is. Were you expecting tentacles?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I was expecting something that looks at least vaguely like a nautilus.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

I mean... Don't you think this is a bit of a far fetch? A car couldn't look like this it would be ridiculous!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Today I realized lots of Linux file managers are based on sea things

  • gnome, nautilus

  • KDE, dolphin

  • cinnamon, nemo

PCManFM... wait no

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

You're a sassy little gnome.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 months ago (4 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Well... the Cybertruck has unique physical features. They're not features I'd want in a vehicle, but...

Anyway, I was looking here and yeah. Very boring. https://www.caranddriver.com/features/a46550349/2024-editors-choice/

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I saw a cybertruck in person the other day, pictures cannot fully convey how fucking hideous they are

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Stainless steel, sharp edges, it'll take your finger off with ease if you're not careful. All traits I look for in a good kitchen knife.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

You can still do that nowadays, if you give a fuck. I don't.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Hyundai/kia are doing really well recently compared to everyone else, their designs are really recognizable and stand out a lot. Some of them aren't the best but it's better than everything looking identical

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago
[–] [email protected] -3 points 2 months ago

You just don't know cars that well then

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Dumb question... What's the issue? I'm a Venza loving freak so I could be biased.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Is it supposed to? I mean, a Jaguar doesn't look like a jaguar either 🤔 But if they market it as being designed around a nautilus' shape, then yeah it sucks haha

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

You know what? Sue them ALL for false advertising!!! I bet this thing can't even travel underwater.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

Eh. Just looks like any other oversized SUV to me. I miss when cars had distinct designs...

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

If Audi's headlights and if BMW's front grill's tumor continued growing had a baby (?)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Spot on 😆

[–] Mwa 5 points 2 months ago

looks to me just your average suv car

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

cephalopod

........a wut?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Looks like a wankpanzer to me.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Is it the hubcaps? It's the hubcaps isn't it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

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)
