Seems like there's a high interest for this car regardless of its quirky looks? Personally, I think it's interesting and has the potential to propel the brand to the grassroots level they've missed during the last couple of years. And with anything new, people are somewhat in a state of shock, which shouldn't be a surprise really. It's human nature.
I've setup the first Nissan IDx forum to those interested in getting into the discussion
