Nissan Juke

The spousal unit is sniffing around these cars. In a sort of teenage way they're kinda interesting.

They remind me of the Pontiac aztek especially from the front. That being said I've only heard good things about them

Yeah, they do have the same sort of look in the front, it'd grow on me.

I don't know what to make of them. They're in interesting mish-mash visually and characteristically. I don't have an immediate negative reaction.

I like what I'm reading about the AWD technology. She drives an Element now, so ugly is not really part of the equation. Looks like a drive to the big city is in the offing to look at them.

You can ask that question (why x and not y) about any car. The impreza definitely has it's faults as well...I did not like it personally, felt very cheap.

Thank goodness it is a limited edition.

If I'm going to drive something ugly it is going to be one of these when they become street legal:

Kubota

For the community that I live in I could use it for at least 75% of my transportation needs.


They are available with a/c.
