    Micra concept

    It's really cute. Maybe this has been posted before, not sure but here is a Nissan Micra concept car. Too bad not a lot of the concept cars usually translate into the production model but still I can see some of it got into the real thing.

    That really is very nice.. And yep.. Some parts like most of the rear end made it.. Hmm.. Front air intake.

    I really like the exhaust and.... rear.. fog lights?

    It was build as a sports concept in 2011.

    First car ever with a widow's peak?

    In our culture obsessed with absurd excess, the Nissan Micra is my counterculture car of choice.

    In deed, the front windshield is unusual. I wonder if there was a car actually made like that. Never seen it before.

    I'm up for a little opining today so...

    Likes:
    Overall design is OK.
    Mirrors.
    Side profile (as much as you can tell from pics)
    Wheel/Tire sizing and stance is good.
    Rear spoiler, subtle, integrated look.
    Front fender vents, very nice.
    Wind shield wiper stowage very neat...if it can be believed
    Door handles. Awesome if they work. Perhaps one push to open, like an MC gas cap?
    Skirts are integrated.
    Exhaust.

    Dislikes:
    Skin head windshield/roof line is LOL ...a deal breaker.Plus, I can imagine the extra sun beating in on my shaved head
    Front and rear bumper skins need to be smoothed out a bit (where the circles are)
    Lower front grill opening OK, but grill itself needs work to remove ''smiley face'' look.
    Upper front grill opening is all wrong, especially along the bottom...needs to be straight, not turned up at the corners.
    Whatever those front and rear light circles are...NO.

    Fix all that and get back to me
