That is from the 2013 show.

The Niro is out NOW, and it looks NOTHING like the concept.

Yep. We've definitely fallen a long ways away from the daring of putting out a production car that looks like the concept car. The Niro's end result is almost as bad as what happened to the Aztek between concept & production.

To be fair, they did pretty much the same thing with the Stinger. Concept to production. WTH?

Well, the Niro will outlast the Stinger for sure. Bigger demand for small SUVs over an economy sports car any day. And the Stinger just missed its mark. Had it shipped 10 or so years ago, I think it would have been a bigger hit.
