Thank you style, definitely, is a subjective matter. Believe it or not, Camaro was voted to be one of the top 5 ugliest vehicles of all times! It's one of my favorites though/

it sure does catch your eye, has good interiors, is fast and nice alloys too but still i would not want one for sure. |
Nice description. Very very creative!! lol

Congrats and wishing you many happy miles :-), we need more pics! |
Thanks a lot. More pics coming up tomorrow.

I see some overtones of the Nissan 370Z in the Jukes design. the lights at the back are similarly designed. There is a bit of Qashqai in it as well. A great little lifestyle car, this. I bet it's nippy as well! 187 horses in a small car is a lot and can be a handful at times!
What's the drivetrain? It should have full-time all-wheel-drive if I'm not wrong? Or is it FWD? |
The inspiration from 370Z seems very obvious. Infact Nissan says that the bottom half is from the Z and the top half from a cross-over! I love the dynamics of the car - it's a great handler.
Its a 1.6 L turbocharged engine, churning out 188 horses. It's mated to a 6-speed automatic, in my case. And yes, its an AWD.

That car is indeed very special for making you change your mind and get chosen over that list of yours. |
Guess the Camaro would be my next car. I didn't really like the Mustange V6 after the testdrive, and the GT was out of my budget. This fit the bill perfectly. The turbo boost compensates for the styling loss over Camaro.

Thanks buddy.

It took some time to digest what I saw in the pics ! Man..what a creation ! FUNKY is the right word. And 0-100 in 6.2 s !!! Awesome dude. Could you post some spec details as well? Feeling lazy to check it on web. And whats the price of this?
Congratulations and Wish you miles of happy and safe driving !  |
Turbocharged 188bhp engine, with 177 lb.ft of torque. All under 5500 rpm. It cost me 24k, all inclusive.

I see a pic of one on the roads. It does look.err.umm.different.The front
looks like a VW new beetle but for the quirky top (headlights?).
IIRC Nissan has launched this as a small SUV and not a car.Kind of little brother of the Rogue, which itself is a little brother of the Murano..
Congrats on your new juke-box and have fun!Dare I say, it is the perfect antithesis of the box. Wonder why I called it jukebox. |
Thank you. The exhaust note is 'music' to ears. Juke, it is!

Is it not available in MT? |
Expect more pictures tomorrow. It has decent boot space, and under-floor storage.
It's available in 6 speed MT.

But the power is crazy. 187 from 1.6L Turbo  . Does this run on normal petrol or high octane? |
It prefers to sip the high octane (recommended). Crazy acceleration.

When i got my beat, many people critisized me for getting that vehicle, just because of it design, woundering what people would talk if something like this comes here.. |
Thanks there!

It has reptilian features, that's for sure.

Could not understand which are the headlights ? or are they the fog lamps ?
The back is simply too good, the front unconventional, but not too bad ! |
The round ones are the headlamps - they say it's rally car inspired, from the 60s.

Looks like smaller version of Murano.
I think the big and round ones are the headlights and fogs are extreme 2 on the lower bumper and turn indicators on the bonnet. |
Yep, it's a crossover.

It would take a lot for me to ignore the Camaro and Mustang to choose this funky little car.
Btw, whats the landing price? |
For me, with the options, it was 24k. Camaro is my next car.

Also i wonder when we get these type of ultra mordern interiors in our indian hatches? |
Thank you. I love it too
