It's their next attempt at something to compete with the Soul. The Cube is doing pretty horrible in sales compared right now.

Not horrible, but weird for sure.

Turbocharged, isn't it?

Yes, turbocharged 1.6L. AWD.

The interior is nice. Fiberglassed center console, nice displays.

glad we agree here. back in the late 80's to mid 90's, concepts were damn awesome. but now they're just stupid.

It would look better lowered, as it sits now it looks like a roller skate.

It reminds me of the head of a pit viper.

The cube was a horrible idea for the US. Japan maybe, but not here.

Concept? This thing is full steam ahead! It's in commercials!

MSRP set at $18,960 http://www.nissanusa.com/juke

I keep hoping my eyes are playing tricks on me... Juke or Joke?

and they did a horrible job of ripping off the Volvo Crossover rear end

They made it seem like the stuck a turbo motor in something small and light in one commercial I saw. I think the curb weight is like 3000pds.. ehhh... yeah no thanks. Its like someone took a soul and said.. How do we make this look more dumber. AH HA! Then they got drunk, high, and came up with that. Had it not been for a nissan exec killing a hooker the night before with the retarded designers father seeing him do it that would not be here.
