Could be, although 510s were not soul-crushingly ugly and French.

Nah, just some stickers and spoilers.

Can I get it for less with just one front end?

Nissan has said in the past that the Juke is their answer to the BRZ/FRS.

Juke Nismo 2,939#/197hp = 14.92

Civic Si Sedan 2,967#/201hp = 14.76

WRX Base 3,208#/265hp = 12.11

As are most cars companies nowadays it seems.

I'm just waiting for the bubble of selling cars with purely marketing instead of substance to crash again like it did for the big three in the 90s.

The engine in that just NEEDS to be in something cool, the juke is such a waste for what it's capable of.

How about something like a Sentra SE-r Spec V? Oh wait, Nissan killed that car off.

10,000 Nickle-dime enthusiasts are on their way to your house with torches and pitchforks right now. Recant this heresy.

...and a massively lowered suspension (assuming it hits showrooms like that) and plus size wheels/tires.

It looks like a Juke R Jr, and I kinda dig that.

That said, I'd rather see the Honda Gear Concept come to life:

This is the company that thinks naming all of their luxury cars "QU" is a good idea!

I've seen a blue Juke with the spoiler and diagonal black stripes up the back doors...and I have to say I think it looks really cool.

I rented a Juke a couple weeks ago in Florida. It was that or a Prius. Anyway, I wouldn't say it sucked. It got me to the office and back to the hotel. Accelerated about like the Camry. Did not corner like the Elise. Kinda fugly. Door handles are weird, especially the rear door and hatch. I would like a place to put stuff that people couldn't just look in and see. Putting the laptop case in the rear hatch area where anyone can just walk by and look at did not give me a warm feeling. First Datsun I've driven since a B210 in the 70's. Would I buy one? No, but it wasn't as bad as the last Chevy I rented.

^ there's a privacy shade that attaches to the hatch to keep contents of the hatch away from prying eyes, guess yours was missing.

Huh. It could have been there but I just didn't see it. I looked around for something like that. I had to ask someone at the rental place how you open the hatch up.

Will it be AWD?

If not, will ignore.

Sometimes slow is ok, as long as slow accompanies cheap and right wheel drive.

Puke on the Juke

I'm OK with the Honda concept though.

I kinda like the Juke. I doubt I would buy one but they are kinda cool in a really ugly sort of way.

Getting rid of the lights on top of the fenders would help.
