North America's Truck Of The Year Loses Its Head

What’s the difference between the Range Rover Evoque and the Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet? About $545, and the fact that people will actually buy the proposed convertible version of the Evoque, solely due to the “Range Rover” lettering on the front end.
These images aren’t just competent photoshops – they are real images of a topless Evoque, which will be unveiled as a “concept” at the Geneva Auto Show. Based on the Evoque three-door, 4 lucky passengers will get to ride in a very nice version of the Suzuki X90.

I wonder if an Aztec convertible would look better or worse than this turd 'o the road.
This trucklet is so sticky, blocky and so hip to be square that I like it, almost. But why, above that smug pug-nose, does it wear another car's windshield? Nothing about the car body is aerodynamic, so how much fuel economy is gained by a fast windshield rake? A more upright windshield has many benefits: reduced reflections, less daytime solar heating, better side vision and an increase in perceived interior space. For me, it's a better view of the road and the scenery. This new RR oddity would be improved greatly by a more upright windshield. It would give it more personality and distinction. So far, only the new VW Beetle (and not the VW New Beetle) has gone against the grain with a more vertical windshield. Where Beetles dare, will others follow... someday?
