What Car Is The Deviant In Real Life

Let's talk cars. But not just any cars. We're diving into the automotive equivalent of that friend who always orders the weirdest thing on the menu. You know, the one who's a little… *deviant*.

Defining Automotive Deviance

What makes a car a "deviant"? It's not about being objectively bad. It's about bucking trends. It's about having quirks so bizarre, they become endearing. Think ugly-cute puppies, but with engines.

The Obvious (and Maybe Too Easy) Answers

Some cars are immediately labeled deviant. Like the Pontiac Aztek. Its looks were… divisive. It was featured on Breaking Bad and had tent package, which made it a camper.

Then there's the PT Cruiser. Retro styling gone wrong, or endearingly unique? The jury's still out. This car had bold styling for its era.

My Unpopular Opinion: The Real Deviant

I'm going to say something controversial. Brace yourselves. The most deviant car isn't ugly-on-purpose. It's the one that tries to be normal but fails spectacularly.

I'm talking about the Nissan Cube. Yes, that Cube.

Hear me out! On paper, it's a compact hatchback. Practical. Fuel-efficient. Sensible. But then you look at it.

The asymmetrical rear window! The corrugated dashboard! It's like Nissan designed a normal car, then someone sneezed and shifted everything just slightly off-kilter.

It whispers, "I'm just a regular car!" But screams, "I'm from another dimension where squares and rectangles had a baby!" This car is not trying to hide it quirkiness.

It also brings back memories from childhood, as my neighbor owned it and would always let my friends and I eat snacks in it.

Why the Cube Reigns Supreme

The Aztek and the PT Cruiser knew they were weird. They embraced it. The Cube, however, presents itself as…inoffensive.

That's its deviance. It's a Trojan horse of oddity. It lures you in with the promise of normalcy, then hits you with a wave of geometric confusion.

Plus, it was marketed as a car you could customize with shag carpets and other things. So it was not a commuter car, but a mobile living room.

Honorable Mentions in the Deviant Car Hall of Fame

Of course, the Cube isn't alone in its weirdness. The Subaru Baja deserves a nod. A pickup truck…but not really?

And let's not forget the BMW Isetta. A bubble car with a front-facing door! Pure genius, or utter madness? I think it is both!

Embrace the Deviance!

Ultimately, the "deviant" car is a matter of personal taste. What one person finds strange, another finds charming. That's what makes these cars so special.

So, the next time you see a Cube, or an Aztek, or any car that makes you raise an eyebrow, don't judge. Appreciate its individuality. After all, in a world of beige sedans, a little deviance is a good thing.
