It's like a Japanese Mini Cooper but nearly 30 years later. Look at it! It's adorable!

Cool.

 

[Snikle]

I've always liked the stuff like this. Cool

 

[Sage Ages]

The fact that it's not based on anything in particular works to it's advantage.

 

[UltimateYosh]

I love weird 80s cars. Cool.

Wasn't it, like the Figaro and Pao, based on the first-generation March?

 

[Aphelion]

Im definately a fan, cute styling, compact fun. Cool.

I'm talking about the styling.

Yeah, definitely think the styling has aged pretty well. It still looks fairly modern, imo. High cool.

 

[Darla Starch]

Cool on account of being slightly dopey-looking.

If this was the S-Cargo, it'd be the easiest sub-zero rating yet.

 

[SlipZtrEm]

As much as weird-loving auto enthusiast me likes it, I recognize that it's a 30-year-old Japanese subcompact that's completely unremarkable to the general public. Can't see it getting more than a confused sort of shrug from most people, and thus, I have to vote Uncool.

The design was a bit ahead for it's time having a design more similar to late 90s cars, it also doesn't have a single Nissan Badge on the entire car which is odd.

Low Cool.

 

[kikie]

A little cute car but is it cool?

 

[TheCracker]

Another attempt by Nissan to do 'something interesting' and vaguely retro with an old Micra/March platform. Uncool.

 

[ZGBox]

Simple, quirky and adorable, but it will attract other car geeks.
Uncool.

 

[LivingWithGames]

I regret not knowing about this car before. Sub-Zero.

 

[MisterWaffles]

Polyphony will probably add this car to Sport before the Bentley GT3 car. I’m not complaining.

It’s cool.
