However, this does look pretty hideous.

I think the design flows a bit better than the awkward looking Transit Connect.
The problem is it's not that good of a Nissan product.
The powertrain is abysmal. 2.0L 4 cylinder with a CVT. CVT alone is a dealbreaker for a lot of people. Then the power output is low, but probably adequate for a vehicle of this size. The biggest issue in my eyes is the fuel economy. How they only managed to eek out 25 MPG highway is just beyond me. Our Terrain regularly achieves better economy than that using a larger, more powerful engine in a bigger car.
I don't know if it's an aero issue, gearing, tuning, whatever, but the fuel economy is just absolutely unacceptable. If I were GM I would be demanding Nissan install a GM powertrain rather than their engine.
