I actually wouldn't mind it if someone did some kinda of hood blinker delete. They just really throw off the whole front end for me.

I love Nissan but their designs are going down hill. I think The GTR could have looked much better and the Juke? Looks like something my dog puked up. Nissans next design will be the Nissan Dingleberry

Yup. But the Juke is on a whooooole different level of ugly. The upper headlights? What Satan-possessed creature decided that was a good idea?

I respected the Cube for its creative and artistic take on utility with some form of style. Asymmetry is always a tough thing to pull off well, and I think they did a bang-up job of it. What bugged me was the puffiness around the windows - made it look like an oddly-formed marshmallow.

The Juke, on the other hand, is an amorphous glob of drooping car parts that's trying desperately to hold itself together in a roughly aerodynamic form.

No, seriously. Look at those headlights and tell me that it's not like they're slowly falling off.

Someone needs to drop an LS3 in there, just for comedy purposes.

Not since Toyota killed the Avalon.

This thing's even uglier than the new Sonata.

And that body-color center console is going to look like Hell after the first week.

It honestly looks like a 10lb. wad of play-doe was thrown into a third grade classroom, and the kids were all asked to put their heads together for a 'new' car design.... There is no functional flow, or design thought to anything I'm seeing here.... A total mis-mash of automotive design idea's. I don't like at all,,,,but not to say if Nissan hit's with a great marketing plan,,,,the younger gen might go for it....?? I doubt it.... bad is bad.

I never liked those (in any car). Hopefully that fad passes quickly.

I might have missed it, but do they come with a manual transmission?

Yep.

Here's what's weird - The manual is only available in the fully-loaded model.

The base gets the CVT.

Odd.
