I'm sure the edition that makes it to production will look better. This concept just doesn't look finished to me.

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

But....you still can't deny that it's fun to drive

I dont think the GTR is pretty. Yet i still love the looks. The 370Z is pretty. With a big ***!! HOT!! The ID...I think its different and offers that pacific flair that lacks in the European market. If this car has any guts I could see picking one up, not to replace my Z34 but maybe a toy.

Yeah super excited to see this vid pop up yesterday. Finally get to see the IDx Nismo with some context (next to another car, on the road).

I have to say, it really looks sweet on the road!

It's going to be a polarizing design that's for sure with some people liking it and some people absolutely hating it but from what I hear that's what nissan was going for in the first place and I'm glad they did instead of just trying to blend in they are actually trying to give their cars some character

I completely agree. I'm even the same way. I actually hated the Juke on first glance, but these days, I actually like seeing it on the road. It has some unflattering angles, but most cars do. I'd consider it if I wanted a vehicle in that segment.

At least they're not boring, anonymous designs. Props to that for sure. Nissan has a whole range of cars that are boring and anonymous. Full support for going with a line of more fun cars that have a look to them. Even if I end up not liking it (not sure about that base model yet), I still want to nod my head, "yes, more please."

My 16 year old son who is not a car guy things the IDx looks cool. He is part of the new generation that really isnt interested in cars but for whatever reason the look appeals to him, so maybe they have got something right in this concept.

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
