Almera arrived in Singapore!

[Kar_lover]

 

Yesterday's TODAY had a front page full page ad by Nissan saying how all other car manufacturers who put in a lot of features into thei cars, etc etc have forgotten abt the most important one of all and etc etc etc and how Nissan Almera gives the more space and comfort (where have i heard that before!). Totally b-------t. The fact is your design is super duper ugly. Inside and out. Who will want to buy an eye sore? Its like anxious parents trying to convince a guy that their daughter got a heart of gold so the guy should ignore the fact that she weighs 300kg and looks like a hippo.

 

Please lah, your car can be spacious and comfortable but does it have to be THAT ugly?

There is not a single saving grace in Almera than interest me at all.

 

The selling point of biggest space in its class is moot. Which was the main theme of its silly advert.

 

Most cars interior are more or less there.

It dose not mean the interiors volume is biggest, then people will be more comfortable or can sit more people comfortably.

Cars are emotional object. More so in Singapore high priced cars...people want a well rounded and pretty car.

If cannot then at least it must be the cheapest.

My Honda jazz was the cheapest car at the time I bought it, and it's interior space is also 'biggest' in its class. Not to say the flexible folding seats. And it's solid engine technology.

I find almera is the more ugly version of sylphy.

 

bro... the Sylphy is a beauty compared to the Almera More than the fat sides and the small wheels of the Almera, what I hate the most is the centre dash with massive round AC control section. How is that intuitive? sheesh....

 

My lil bro has the new Patrol in Dubai and my friend has an Altima there as well. They look like they're made by completely different manufacturers. Nissan here is a big fail.

Very thick skin advertistment team and the approval officer. Really kowtow to them to spent so much money for full page, to sprout such silly words.

At least Sylphy interior still OK. Quality is good.

Almera is an obvious model for SEA market (except Singapore) which want cheap car since it is MIT.

design is very subjective... what I hate others may think is cool. But I really really hate this about the Almera.

 

[Notxer]

Agreed. This aircon unit is crap design. No class at all.

 

[Eyke]

the steering wheel is super fugly!

[13177]

The air-con design indeed very ugly, and it doesnt blend well with the dashboard colour.

The same aircon unit also used in the March. It is a very obvious cost saving by Nissan. And both car are MIT.
