I just saw an Infiniti EX35 today (and it is UGLY)

I was driving to the bank today and saw the following vehicle in a nearby parking lot:

Now, there are two things that you'll notice.  First of all, this isn't the actual vehicle (since I don't live in a desert with a mirrored ground surface).  Also, I slightly pizelized the back half of the car as not to spoil the moment.

From the first picture, it appears to be a small suv (or "cute ute").  It's an Inifiniti so it probably drives real nice and comes with a hefty price tag.  No complaints yet.

Now, if you will click here you will see the full image.

Do you see what I see?  The front looks like a very nice sedan (that is riding a bit high).  The roof line looks like it's starting to melt (and causing the back end to slope way too early).  The back end is also supposed to resemble an suv, but unfortunately it isn't nearly tall enough.  The total height of this car (including the roof rails) is 62.6".  My wife is 63" tall.  No offense, but any vehicle that is shorter than her is not a sport utility.  Here is a height comparison of the EX35 to some actual suvs.

Infniti EX35:  62.6"

Honda CRV:  66.1"

VW Touareg:  68"

Toyota RAV4:  68.7"

To be honest, Inifiniti doesn't call this an SUV on their website.  That makes it even worse.  If it's not considered an SUV, then it's just an ugly undersized station wagon that comes with a starting MSRP of $35,450.
