And once again it looks like manufacturers are trying to follow each other on stupid silly trends that do nothing but create ugly cars for our roads. BMW is toying with a “leaning car” concept called simply SIMPLE, and here we see Nissan going for the same “feature” although while also following the misjudgments on design that had them make the Nissan Cube. If this whole leaning trend continues I will personally start a worldwide club of road-protectors whose time will be solely devoted to leaning-car-tipping. Experienced cow-tippers will be the first to get membership.

This thing clearly aims to take cars into a whole new dimension by reversing proportions. Instead of low and wide as most cars are, the Nissan Glider concept is clearly trying to create a trend of narrow and tall – or at least taller than it is wide. We should call it the “fish pucker face” period in car design and quickly ban such proportions.
