Anyone see a Juke in person yet?

The new Juke is rolling out to dealerships nationwide right now. Has anyone had a chance to see one in person yet? Anyone drive one?

What do you guys think of the idea of a sports oriented mini-suv? Gotta love Nissan for putting a turbo in one!

I'm still not so sure about the bug-eye headlights up so high on the fenders.. but the rest of the vehicle is actually pretty decent looking.

What do you all think?

I have. It was the blue color. Didn't get to drive it, as it was at night, but I REALLY like it. The headlights don't come across the same way in the pictures as they do in real life. Much easier to swallow in real life. There are also some really nice touches like the hidden rear door handles, and the way the tail lights blend into the rear quarter panel's flare. The size is really nice, not too big, not too small. The rear seats fold flat, it looks like it's got plenty of cubby holes to put stuff, the interior is very sporty looking, and has a 350Z-esque gauge cluster. I'm gonna drive one, but I'm going to wait until they have an AWD one and see what the tq-vectoring is like.

I have yet to see a Ferrari FXX and this car.

Hopefully that will change on Sunday...
