Toby Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 http://jalopnik.com/5468551/nissan-juke-coming-to-freak-america-out-with-its-foreignness I like Nissan and all but we're getting over saturated with Crossovers. And this thing looks like a more modern Pontiac Aztek. I'm not sure what is going through their heads... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toby Posted February 11, 2010 Author Share Posted February 11, 2010 Nissan Joke I'd rather see an aborted fetus than this thing... I don't see the point of it. it will be smaller than the Rogue. And it will be underpowered. At least the Isuzu Vehicross actually had some offroad prowess. this thing looks like it might follow the Aztek route and just be there. With a production run of 3 years and won't sell the final vehicle until 5 years after production ended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldSlowReliable Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Gotta admit, I don't think it looks all too bad...4.0L & 4wd would be sweet though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nige Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 yeah that thing would be fun to drive all modded out like a rally car. Muranos with snowtires were pretty fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toby Posted February 12, 2010 Author Share Posted February 12, 2010 Gotta admit, I don't think it looks all too bad...4.0L & 4wd would be sweet though Not big enough for a V6. And no conventional 4WD, just AWD as an option. I think the engine in it is going to be the same 2.5 I4 they've used for years. It doesn't look like it's high enough to do any real off roading outside of maybe pulling into your front yard. Still shares too much of a resemblance to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh my gawd,it looks like a old 1969 mustang got raped by a pathfinder and this is the ugly bastage the mustang gave birth too...and sadly the thing crawled off before being killed by its sire...

Precise1 Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 A Mini buffed ou on 'roids, kinda like Stalone... No thanks, I have no need use for it. Some of the replies are great though!! Ok, which lights are the headlights, which are the foglights, and which are the fake ones to ward off predators? Um, I'm normally not a grammar/spelling Nazi, but you misspelled "Fuglyness". Why couldn't they make it attractive looking? Is that not possible? What the hell is going on with some of these automotive designers today? You guys should do a story on today's current crop of automotive designers. Ask them the hard questions, like, "What the fskc is wrong with you? and "What the hell were you thinking?" You could end it with, "Are you ever going to make attractive cars again? and "Do you really think this is the line of work for you?" or maybe, "How'd you get this job?"

I had already set my cut off at 94...though it is because of air bags. I do like some things newer though, so I have ammended my original cut off to 2000, and just yank the damn explosives and swap in a grant wheel.
