Hi,

I don't dislike it, and I think some other angles are more flattering:







Here's a video:

They specifically did not want to do wheel skirts and other obvious aero tricks -- they did what they could and still keep it looking "normal". The underside is very smooth, I understand... and notice the diffusors under the rear bumper.

I could do with a little less Murano-like 'C' pillars, and a little less sweep up in the sill line. I'm hoping that there are steel wheels on the base car, so we can put on smooth wheel covers...
