x6m srt8 cayenne tt would all get dusted by this thing. too bad it'll never go into production. i guess i'm one of the 10 people out there that likes the look of this car :P

 

I think this sums it all up pretty well. If something looks bad compared to the GT-R, they've done something special.

 

I would also be interested to see it go into production. It would be such a sleeper car. People would be like 'oh look at that ugly car.' Then BAM it owns all at the quarter mile track in the cuv/suv range. I personally think the Juke doesn't look that bad. I mean the Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet looks A LOT worse then the Juke. Of course I don't like convertible SUV's so maybe that's just me.

 

Nope I like how it looks and so does my GF.

 

Please consider getting checked out for cataracts.

Edit: Also I forgot to mention that your GF always agrees with you until you're married!

 

The service manager at the Nissan dealer mentioned this to me, and I didn't believe him.

What a surprise after seeing post # 12...

 

Well if they do make the Juke with a 3.8L VR38DETT, hopefully the price of this engine and its parts would come down. Something also to worry about, can Nissan find enough Ninjas to build them?

 

Just thinking here...

This concept alone has probably pointed a few people in the direction of the Juke that would normally have skipped over it, dismissing the vehicle as just another ugly Nissan.

If it does ever come out (disregarding what Tachsman said about the enough engineers being available to build the engines), it will surely boost Nissan's sales of the lower base models (halo effect).

But that is a valid point - where are these VR's going to be assembled? My thoughts about this (as I discovered in the middle of typing this response), is that there will not be a lot of engines made for the Juke-R, because it will be relatively limited production. Not too many people would opt for this auto at an elevated price range, when it puts you in the middle of other competitors.

 

The second Juke-R video was just uploaded by Nissan. Here you go. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaNoaV7Smnw

 

When reading this thread, I keep checking the calendar to see if its April 1.

 

says you! i'd buy a fleet of these little buggers .

even though i too cannot believe the juke-r isn't a joke, i feel like i'd absolutely consider picking one up if it ever made it past the functional-concept stage.

 

Well, there is a vehicle for everybody...

 

I would pick one up too if it went into production.

 

I've been contemplating this as well...

The CVT is an extremely efficient transmission, but I've never a CVT hold this much power (in Nissan's setup).

I'm almost so completely disgusted by this vehicle, that I may have to look at one as well.

A lot of this contemplation will depend on the transmission options available.

 

Even with a 3.8 GTR engine......The Juke is still UGLY!!!!!!!
Why Nissan released that car....I have no clue....
