This is the car Tesla needs and wants to build, a 20k EV. Elon should just buy the tooling for the Bolt and just redo the exterior and interior. 25k mini model 3 would sell like hotcakes. Or GM could just sell the Bolt to Honda and they could bring back the Fit as an EV. I don’t see why these aren’t selling out at…

Yeah, but, you have to drive a Bolt then...

only a stroke of brilliance

Did anyone else start to believe they were having a stroke while reading this article?

But we don’t get a coupon on the back.

I’m replying to this comment to hopefully push it up higher. Overall I think the design is fairly successful, apparently unlike many others here, but the grille is just *too* big and blocky. It seems like Nissan is attached to it as a deliberate callback to previous versions but your design works much better for me.

There are more unibody trucks with no break between cab and bed than their are trucks will all-amber taillights. 

Thank you. I really hope someone at Nissan sees this, because that instantly fixes the one major design issue I see with this car.

Shit, that does make it look better.

That looks way better, great job dude!

Please don’t release it with that plain square grille Nissan... this took me 10 minutes, I’m sure it can be updated at this stage:

Alright we got to fucking talk about it cause this fucking ridiculous....

That gaping maw tho.

The angular almond shaped headlights are what make the grille look out of place. The cowards wouldn’t commit to round headlights like the S30 and S130 had. The way they explained it, they wanted to have S30 ZG front end, but hated the headlight covers. It’s like they don’t get the details that made the S30 look so…

That square ass grille is killing me. It looks so out of place alongside the rest of the car. I’m hoping they reshape it or at least make it smaller on the production car.

It was a simpler time, back when the American journos thought Trump was a “moderate”

Look at that 2015 content

So I wrote a rage post over at Oppo.

I’m with you, as another person whose repairs sometimes turn into a way bigger deal than they should be, because I was impatient.
