Presented at the 1993 Tokyo Motor Show, the 1993 Nissan AQ-X has several small and large errors that add up to something of a disaster. But we will learn from this. Being charitable, it's a packaging car. The rear compartment has stupendous legroom. The doors open wide for easy ingress and, when you need to, egress. Up close, the vehicle is finished to a professional standard. At 10 meters, you begin to wonder whether the person who had sketched the car had sketched many cars before this.
Perhaps the lumpy, non-homogenous forms of a car that combines elements incorrectly. Proportionally one sees the front part (forward of the B-pillar) as being from a small, tall vehicle. The center section has a van-like or MPV-like quality. The rear of the C-pillar is part of what might be an awkward saloon version of a B-class car.
The front view works acceptably. The side views show the MPV-meets saloon wrongness. It looks very much like the roof's highest point is behind the B-pillar (though it might not be). The rearview is bland but acceptable. In a three-quarter view, notice how the lamp outline bumps over the wing-to-bonnet part. The roof is too flat in that view, yet amorphous curves characterize the car, apart from the sharp cut on the lower doors.
