Geesh! Just how many lines, curves, creases, cuts and clutter can you put on one car?

They put all those lines, creases, folds and curves in the cheap, flimsy sheet metal to keep it from flapping in the breeze..... just like your furnace duct work.

It's bold and gorgeous! They'll sell well on looks alone. I wish it were RWD, though.

And I thought the current Maxima was bloated.

This is ugly from the git go. They're trying too hard to be different.
There is no coherence or beauty there. Nissan needs a new design
director!

How true - my dad worked for a while as a body and fender man and had nothing but contempt for the quality of steel used in japanese cars. He thought it was pretty cheap and flimsy.

PIC: This marks a new design language for Nissan.

The new Murano (below) has some of the same elements. Expect to see this influence In the Infiniti line up. I want to see one in person before making a call but I am intrigued.
