Like the love child of a dakar rally car and the all but dead Isuzu VehiCROSS, the Nissan Qazana steals my heart. Yes it's odd and the proportions are so not production ready but appreciate its cartooniness.
Nissan's Design Europe team says that they were influenced by the "motif of a modern day beach buggy and a four-seat motor-bike." Why this idea didn't result in a more skeletal open-top off-roadster on balloon tires (the Qazana rides on modest-for-a-concept 20-inch wheels), we're not sure, but we think this design has merit on its own regardless. While we wouldn't expect a greenhouse quite this radical or the some of the motorcycle-inspired interior details to see production, a UK-built smaller counterpart to the smash hit Qashqai has been promised, and the Qazana could well influence the design.
More after the jump.
If you replaced the backseat with a .50 Cal, it would kinda look like the Warthog from the Halo series.
