I’m starting to feel sorry for any Nissan owners or to be owners that come on board here. It’s like saying the dog you love is one ugly animal. Yes it's not an off road vehicle but a little work might make it look better. Of course the high top is a lost cause ...

When I worked at Porsche in Atlanta a tech line guy and myself both bought new 2003 Dodge 1500 Hemis..We both loved our trucks but he liked to trade every few years so he bought a Titan truck in 2005. He told me over and over again how much he wished he had kept his Hemi truck or bought another one. Why you ask? Because while the Hemi was not good on gas the Titan was bad on gas and did not have the power of the Hemi either. After one year or less he went back to a Dodge.

Too funny, the cameraman was clearly afraid to take a full frontal angle on that thing, must have been a nice camera he was worried about...is it worse than an Aztec? Yeah I think so...

Not to mention the split-second transitions between scenes and the lack of any sense of why this scene is shot from this position or how you got to this place from the last scene. In-house (or in-family) production strikes again.

Heck yeah! That would be the funniest subject matter in Taylor Arts' file for sure I don't care how purdy the piano plays in the background, that poor li'l rig is just hilarious.

A Nissan van with black and white cowhide interior? That might take a while to sell.

Re: Sportsmobile posts photo of 2011 Nissan Conversion
I guess we will be seeing even more of these stylish things on the roads soon as windows vans too.

Did anyone notice SMB-West is selling its Nissan demo: http://sportsmobile.com/z-PO_calif.html? It's about halfway down the page.

I should be happy the Nissan thing is different, as the modern Grand Cherokee looks like a minivan and the modern Wrangler looks like a mercedes G-Class, and don't get me started about everything else being the same...
However, I quite literally wince whenever seeing these Nissan Vans on the road. Before I thought- "wouldn't be offensive if they just didn't call it a van", however they make one ugly, horrible looking truck as well.
Mmm, can't wait for our first forum owners. One hopes they'll understand.

Re: Sportsmobile posts photo of 2011 Nissan Conversion
Isn't it interesting how some people can be attracted to ugly. To see this in action just watch the "Cops" television show. There's always some ugly guy on there (usually drunk and in his underwear) being arrested saying, "I didn't do nuthin'. Just ask my wife!" And you say, "That ugly guy has a wife!!?" And sure enough, some ugly woman comes out and you see how it all makes sense how that guy could have a wife.
I guess it's the same for the Nissan van.
