What does the board think of this?

Anyone actually driven one or been inside one yet?

Heard they are neato

However I think they look like small hippopotamuses.

Nissan Joke?

my wife likes them.

Get a Rav4 V6 instead. They're better than anything, ever.

If you can get past the front end styling they're supposed to be highly entertaining little vehicles.

One of their editors took the front into photo shop for some fun and I think came out with something a little more palatable to my eyes:



I would really love to see this Juke's powertrain wind up in a more conventional shell like the Versa or something.

Still looks stupid IMO, like a children's toy

They look like puke.

It's a riced out Jeep Liberty.

Hardly. No fart can. No spoiler/wing. No aero bodykit.

The Liberty is better looking. But that's it. The Juke is probably vastly better in every other way.

well i dont think they look that bad.

My biggest complaint with cars in general is that they all look the same. most seem to be pretty devoid of any styling whatso ever.

Its over the top, thats for sure. But everything i've read says its a fun drive.

Well, I think you answered yourself. Not everyone wants a beige Toyota.

I don't like the looks, but I certainly won't fault someone wanting something different.

i need the laughing/crying icon here...spot on!

p_bubel - I agree in general. I am all for distinctive looks and that's why I don't dislike the looks of some things like the Cube or Soul.

But some shapes have no harmony, no good lines at all. The Rogue and Juke are two in Nissan's lineup now.
