Best and Worst Looking Crossovers?
What do you think? I got to thinking about this on my way home today when I saw a few SRXs on the way home. Those have really grown on me since their inception. Anyways, vehicles must be a crossover. They can be current or past gen, like an AMC Eagle
Pick 2 for each, based solely on exterior looks.
Best
Buick Enclave
1G FX
Worst
BMW X3

I only really like the 1st gen FX. The X6 is starting to grow on me, but looks a little funny. I like the MDX, i'm not sure if that is a crossover. The CX7 looks decent too. Porsche Cayenne can look pretty good, and the vw tiguan looks good in the commercials, but I haven't seen one in person.
ugliest
Nissan Rouge/ Infiniti EX
Nissan Murano
Infiniti f50
JEEP COMPASS
is the R-class a crossover? or the toyota venza?

BEST:
1st Gen FX
Q7
X6
Isuzu Vehi-Cross (one of the very first crossovers IMO)
Acadia
Encave
Edge
WORST:
Aztek
DON'T CARE FOR:
new FX (fast as hell tho, I test drove one and the sales guy told me to just go at it)
EX
1st Gen FX

lots of good looking CUVs in my opinion:
Q5/7
X6
acadia
CX-7/9
outlook/vue
santa fe
edge
enclave
tribeca (refreshed one w/ the pig stout)
however:
x3
ex
rdx
tiguain
mkx (for some reason, i think the edge looks much better)
rogue
the murano is growing on me.
the new fx...i dunno. the front is still just too weird. but it has a certain presence. exterior design-wise, i think nissan dropped the ball on this one because the 1st gen is a classic. it's still one of the best looking cars on the road, imo. and it's a shame because the interior looks gorgeous (much better than the 1st gen) and the engine is impressive.

I see a few and here and there in LA.
I think they are a waste. Not much in the way of utility packed into a stupid design.
Infiniti would have been smarter making a slightly longer G35/37 wagon.

Thats pretty much what an EX is...the front looks kind of similar to the G sedan IMO. Its funny because the concept images looked pretty good...
Just my thoughts. I think its a waste.
yes and no...I mean I get the platform it was built on, but then they had to get all super stylish on it with the raked back....does NOT work on a vehicle that small...kills most of your storage space and makes it a totally pointless vehicle.
Just my thoughts. I think its a waste.

I forgot about the X3, put that on the list. That thing is ugly on so many different levels, but why is it there is always a hot ass girl driving one? If its not a bangin' 2x year old, its a slutty looking milf...
And Jedi just nailed it on the EX: it's pretty much a G35 wagon with not much more utility than the G35 sedan. So IMHO, I dont consider it a crossover anymore than I would a 328i xDrive Sports Wagon.
Hey lifetime, I had a chance to checkout the GLK last weekend. In person, it's a ton uglier than the ugliness portrayed in pictures. IMHO, its for MB diehards who simply find the RDX and X3 unacceptable brands in their driveways.
