    Default Lazy Nissan

    Nissan decides that it wants a large piece of the bespoke large metropolis taxi market, i.e. the familar taxis seen in large cities around the world such as NYC and London. Nissan thinks to itself "What sort of vehicle should we use? Aha, let's just use our existing van!"


    Voila, the NV200 van in standard guise:

    Now, let's paint it yellow, add some checker stickers down the flank, and lo and behold, we have the perfect New York City taxi:

    Where's next on our global-taxi-domination map? London of course! But wait, London has this silly rule that their taxis must be able to negotiate the tiny roundabout outside the Savoy Hotel. What to do... what to do?? Aha!! Stick some silly wheel arch extensions on the front wings, so the front wheels can now turn at extreme angles! Genius!!

    Oh no, another problem! Now, the Mayor of London's Office says it's not particularly happy that the new London taxi will just be a black van with funny front wings. What to do?!? Aha! Stick a comical front bumper, headlights and grill on the front of the van! No one will notice it's still a van and not a proper London taxi!! Double Genius!!

    To be fair, normal black taxis look horrible, and Nissan is champion of making awful looking cars, so I think it's a perfect match!

    They are not great at making awful looking cars, they made and make bland cars imo (the worst kind of crappy car). The Sunny, Micra, Primera, Almera and Quashqai. Boring cars. Top Gear summed it up when they said ugly cars have character therefore were not necessarily the worst kind of car.

    You would think teamed up with Renault there would be some form of French design seeping through to produce good looking cars matched to great reliability on the scale of things. In actual fact we get reliability matched to bland looks imo.

    I think Nissan should be rebranded as SAGA cars...
