Why not? How about a Rogue CrossCabriolet?

I loved the Nismo Juke when it was at the Toronto car show and just jumped into one a few weeks ago. It's the reason I have orange mirrors, black grill, and getting vinyl estimates(lolz!) The upgrades for what they are charging are well worthwhile. Also the reason why I'm shopping for a 2013 white one.

It will probably show up in the 3rd year of the model cycle to refreshen the car - not unlike the Krom Rogue, Sentra R, etc. They will rebuild the Nismo brand internationally across models. Funny thing is that they have had Nismo for 30 years.

Nissan Nismo Concept Watch


Press Release
Nissan will become the first car manufacturer to create a smartwatch designed specifically for drivers of Nissan Nismo cars. The Nissan Nismo Concept Watch will be the first smartwatch to connect a driver to the car and will provide drivers with real-time biometric data.

The watch, unveiled today ahead of its display at the Frankfurt Motor Show (10th - 22nd September 2013), is Nissan’s first step into wearable technology and epitomises its ‘fan first’ approach to performance.

The Nissan Nismo Watch will allow drivers to:

* monitor the efficiency of their vehicle with average speed and fuel consumption readings;
* access vehicle telematics and performance data while on track;
* capture biometric data via a heart rate monitor;
* connect to the car using a smartphone app via Bluetooth Low Energy;
* receive tailored car messages from Nissan;

Cross cabriolet will look good if made like the Evoque concept.

Aww, Bless your heart! My post was tongue-in-cheek.

On the subject of a NISMO version of the Rogue, I think forum member SlimSlammedRogue could provide Nissan with some excellent guidance in regards to how to improve the suspension.

Next year Bentley will enter the Dakar rally with new SUV model. Your move Nissan...

Holy crap!! I think this is VERY cool. I understand the Rogue is not a sports car/SUV/CUV, but if I was going to buy another Rogue this is what I would consider.

Would love to hear the spec's for it. Hopefully this would mean more after market parts for the Rogue.

Don't let rdub2k4 see this, he'll want one for his ricer flyby's!

[AZhitman]

Spent some time on a track this past weekend in a NISMO Juke... I definitely have a little different opinion after running it hard, it's a fun (and comfortable) car to hustle around in!

[dolbydj]

I doubt if it is racetrack ready for you!

[AZhitman]

Huh?

[Rogue One]

Huh?

dolbydj needs to work on his engrish.
I believe he meant to say "I doubt if it is racetrack ready off the showroom floor!"

[followingnfront]

This may be a Rogue for me to check out right here!

Ah - Gotcha.

I dunno, I drove it pretty hard on a short road course, and I was pretty impressed with it. The suede seat and steering wheel inserts are a welcome addition, because it corners really well.

Noticed the gearing seems a little taller than on the other Jukes I've driven, which is a welcome improvement.

[dolbydj]

Yes, both my Engrish and English are not good at times.

[AZhitman]

No worries, brother - We're just glad you're here.

The Nismo rogue looks pretty good, but it would need some serious power and handling improvements to be taken seriously (like something from Europe, or CTS-V wagon).

I've driven the Nismo juke quite a bit. Its OK, but they could have done what they did and taken it a step farther just as easily. It needs to be lower so it can actually compete in SCCA (and handle better at the same time), and it definitely needs a lighter flywheel. The revs hang all damn day when you're shifting.

Oh, and the purpose of that hideous man bracelet is completely lost on me.

Granted, I'm perfectly ok without having something bluetooth connected at all times. Flip phone for life y0!

[RicerX]

I really dig this. More than I should, I think.

[Rogue One]

I really dig this. More than I should, I think.

The idea of a NISMO Rogue or the way it's portrayed in the picture? Sorry, if there's on vehicle color I can't abide is white. I'd need more than adding a racing strip and black rims.

Not to mention the way the red mirrors stick out like a pair of big ears.

I have a flip phone with a 16GB mp3 player and monster speakers (for a phone of its size).

It connects to the bluetooth in my 2013 Rogue and the sound quality on voice calls is phenomenal. Nobody can tell they're on any sort of bluetooth/speaker system unless I tell them. I can't access the contact list in my phone on the head unit though. The phone is too old for that. With a flip phone, I don't need it, since I can dial/text by feel without looking at the screen.

[PapaSmurf2k3]

Yup.
Physical buttons > touch screens

Probably why Ford is ditching MyFordTouch in favor of old school buttons and knobs.
