I'd rather revive an old thread than open a new one about the same matter. And just because I don't dislike the Juke doesn't mean it would be my first choice for a car.  |

OK, so the thread is revived, but it's still fun.
Vehicles to pick on the most are convertibles. The one that just puts a "what were they thinking" look on my face is the Nissan Murano "CrossCabriolet"...
I would rather have a Mercury Capri, Chevy Cavalier Z24 Convertible, or Geo Metro Convertible (granted, the Chrysler Sebring was the standard for many years, as was the LeBaron before it). Don't get me started on a PT Cruiser Convo -- I actually had to rent one once (in the dead of Winter) and I'd rather not talk about it).
EDIT: So I almost forgot about the Dodge Dakota Drop-top. I would almost give it kudos for being functional, fun, and El Camino-like in the same sentence.

I like the regular Nissan Murano, but this version sounds quite pointless. And unsafe.

I don't think the convertible Murano is good looking... but unsafe?
Motorcycles are unsafe. Classic cars are unsafe. Let's keep things in perspective.

Sorry Metro! and the owners of these fine vehicles.
A visual fail but the vw and the metro are good cars, the Aztec not so sure.

Here's a fabulously ugly car that I used to own (I had a '68 with the v4, not an oil burner).

That is ugly, After dissing others cars i had to bring my poorly designed car to the spotlight. Thank god my car is black, it helps but can do only so much for it.. Ultimately the body style is a fail, as everyone can attests its a embarrassment to own/drive as its got that girl power thing going for it.

If a motorcyclest is creamed it is usually the fault of a cager near them. So is it motorcycles, cars or operators that are unsafe?
