Has anyone seen this thing? Is it just an April Fool's joke by Nissan?



Apparently there are over 900 pre-orders for it already, lulz.

there were CGI pics of a 2-door Murano last year. That looks more like the Juke to me.



Oh, and I think someone took their last April Fools joke a little too seriously and turned it into a full production vehicle: The Nissan Joke (the damn japs translated it into Juke by accident)

Why not? They did it for the PT Cruiser. Just drop in a big block twin turbo V8 and you'll be good to go.

whatever it is, it's an interesting concept going back to the 1950's Jeep Commando convertible:
