    this is not geared toward the wheeler's on this site

    Has anyone seen Nissan's new Juke coming out later this year?

    http://www.nissanusa.com/juke/?dcp=p...22399160#/home

    It looks like a modern, "street" interpretation of our VX... gotta like the horns!

    And, it actually will have an adjustable torque on demand set-up... I know it does have 4 doors, but the handle is up high so at least at first glance it looks like it only has 2 doors

    I think someone mentioned this before when it was a concept. Personally I can't get past the front grill.

    I hate the front end. Looks like a great horned lizard toad thing....


    and that engine is fkn tiny! 1.6 liters??? I'm not even sure that thing could pull a jet ski much less an average (read overweight) sized American family!

    I'm not diggin' the side view. It (especially the back) reminds me of the Citroën Ami. But I do love their Graphite Blue color.

    Its weird lookin, so I will give Nissan props for that.

    Kinda looks like a freaked out Nissan LEAF, which is also an interesting Nissan development....

    I like the ugly little bugger. 1.6 is pretty standard in Europe, prolly why the're using it...Lower development cost. I like it a lot...but then, I drive one of those funny looking Isuzu things.

    I kinda like it too... I like the video with the headlights on... hmmmm... It's not for off-roading but I could use another funky looking vehicle very soon.... It's like a Kia Soul, meets Volvo c30... WEIRD!

    You know the rodeo has to lead on all the hard obstacles maybe with Travis' rodeo, but mine would never even get close to that place LOL.

    And, the little engine is turbocharged.

    Now I'm thinkin' the power to weight ratio will be decent... and will more than likely get twice the mileage than the 'ol VX's.

    Still goes to show how advanced the styling of the VX really was!!!
