RE: Nismo unleashed on the Juke

[W00DY]

The insides of the exhaust are painted red. The Max Power generation have now grown up and are in the market for odd little Nissans.

Am I right to hate myself for liking it?

The fact that I know it's wrong to like the Juke makes it even more fun TO like it. Bored to tears of german-a-likes I think these cars offer a completely different take. Mad like a Citroen, except I WOULD own one, because it won't break.

Anybody able to comment on what these things are like to chuck about?

[British Beef]

More positive response for this little thing than either of the Toyota or Subara coupe offerings!!

Does that mean coupes are out and sporty bug eyed micro SUVs are in??

I like it!

[Rumblestripe]

Well hooray for Nissan! A distinctive car not an identikit bland mobile that looks good in silver/blue/black and will only impress/get the attention of the neighbours with a new number plate on it. Great piece of design. Yeah, it looks a little awkward from certain angles but they brighten my day to see one.

(I also like the Cube, whilst we're confessing to loves that should not speak their name)

Metalflake paint? I can see that making a comeback.

Here Here well said. Way to many cars look the same.

Something about the Juke that really grabs my interest. Would take one over a regular dullo hatchback if, God forbid, my life ever genuinely required any kind of practical motoring...

Yes. My mum has one. The turbo charged 4 wheel drive variant and it's a good car. Very easy to hoon about with the auto box, surprisingly quick in sport mode too. All right, it's not gonna pin you in your seat, but it's not bad at all. Handling is assured with the torque vectoring 4x4ness and generally I like it. Rear visibility is a bit st, but it has a reversing camera to compensate. I'd definitely have one if I was in the market for a family car.

I really hate this car ,it is so ugly

[will261058]

I quite like it too in a weird sort of way, compared to the standard one but I certainly would not turn back for one last look before going inside the house!

[Hellbound]

This car tickles parts of me other cars don't quite reach. Throw in the 370Z lump and things could get interesting!

[Mastodon2]

A waste of Nismo's time and talent. Bring back the Skyline!

[T84]

Ugly car, reminds me of the Pontiac Aztek.

[jannthaman]

I have one. xD

They should have done this:

Has a bit of camaro about it I think

(please excuse those panel lines I can't go smaller than 1px)

Forgettable in what way?

You hardly ever see them, fairly anodyne engine, love it/hate it looks, accomplished but not particularly exciting handling.

Have you actually driven one?
