Man! Tha't scaaaary craaaaazy! A GT-R under the hood? Just wondering if they've done some dry runs yet. Curious how that platform will hold up with all that juice under the hood. Showroom is one thing. Test track is make or break... Thanks for the post!

Cool car. I just had my Mom buy a new Fit, but I'm wondering if a Juke would have been better for her. I like the size and small turbo motor.

My wife thought the Juke was bizarre looking in magazine photos and wasn't at all interested in it... We saw one on the road and it looked much different than the photos... If we didn't already have the Forester and where shopping for a small AWD car, the Juke would be one we would have checked out... It makes a very striking styling statement when seen up close and moving.

I almost bought one but decided to hold the urge... hoping an AWD M/T will be an offering in the future.

Yeah I can't get over the front fascia. The headlights look a little weird :-0 But same thing could be said about my bug eye Rex when it first came out in '02... It grew on me...

Yeah wasn't sure whether that was a split wing back there... Pretty rad! Still be interesting to see how she does on the test track.

It looks like a camera that is to heavy for her. She was looking at the screen in the second shot of her bringing it out of the car. It looks funny though.


Car looks cool.

So, if you had a choice between an r35 juke and a lowered flush green wheel juke, you'd choose?

I would take the R35 Juke every day of the week, and twice on Sundays. Only a dumbass would turn that down. LOL dont get me wrong, I was just saying the looks are decent, but it would be cool if someone actually did up a Juke, and not necessarily all stanced and herra-frush.

The Acura rdx has potential to be something similar. Granted, a lot less displacement and performance. But small suv, turbo, awd.
