Geneva Gallery: 2011 Nissan Juke

No, it’s not a concept, and yes, it is coming to the US this fall. The Versa-based Juke clearly hopes to banish the term “Aztek” [noun, referring to the ugliest crossover ever sold in the US] from the modern automotive lexicon. We’d Juke around some more about this tiny rolling affront to the laws of natural beauty, but frankly we can’t bring ourselves to. For one thing, where do you start, and for another, where would we stop? Expect thesaurus sales to jump considerably when the Juke hits the press-car circuit later this year.

Aside from the hideous front end, I kinda like it. But I couldn't get past that front end. What were they thinking? Or, more likely, smoking?

Steeply sloped greenhouse and 2 stubby doors. Practically speaking, how does a human fit in this thing?

  Irrelevant - nobody wants to be seen in it anyway. On the other hand, the inside of it is the only place you can't see the outside of it...

It’s also worth noting that most insurance plans have glass replacement options that can make the repair a low- or zero-cost issue. "Now I understand why my insurance is so high despite no claims for years and about 7,500 annual miles between three cars.
AMcA My theory is that that when the Big 3 gave away the store to the UAW in the last contract, there was a side deal in which the UAW promised to go after the non-organized transplant plants. Even the UAW understands that if the wage differential gets too high it's gonna kill the golden goose.
