No video of the car driving, but better than looking at pictures

 

Oh my god. Jesus Christ that thing is an ugly beast. What the hell are they thinking? When I heard about the xD I started to regret buying my 06 xA, but now that I've seen it... UUuugh... It's hideous. No wonder they didn't want pics being leaked.

 

Hideous? Apparently the Motor Trend video must be the only views you've seen of the xD. It looks far better in the many images that have been released. The FiveAxis customized xD is far better looking than the xA. The xA is not exactly a head turner. It's very feminine looking compared to the muscular look of the xD. I would buy the xD over the xA in a heartbeat.

 

The xD is far more attractive than the xA. I never gave the xA a second thought as a replacement for my Matrix, but the xD is now the leading contender to be my new ride.

 

I like the front of the xD, but the back and the rest just looks awfully weird...

 

You think this...
Looks better than this?...

 

design of xa and xd is not for everyone! just like xb.. some like it.. and some hate it!
i think new design looks better!!

 

xD looks too much like the Aztek to me. Blocky and snubbed. Not sporty and refined like the xA.

 

my xb can beat up that xd

 

the rear looks like a cross between the xA and a Chevrolet Aveo

 

I like both the xA and xD as far as aesthetics go. I'll be looking at buying a new xD sometime after 9/07. The other two possibilities are the Yaris Liftback (least likely) and the Honda Fit.

 

I don't know what the big fuss is about.
Am I missing something or Xd is just a 2nd gen on Xa, hell it looks like it. I'm still wonderin why release a car that almost looks identical.

 

puke
gack

no thanks.

just doesn't flow like the xA did.

 

I like it -- especially for a first car type of thing
