2011 Nissan Juke First Look from Consumer Reports

The funky Nissan Juke is part subcompact, part SUV, and part sports car. It's fun to drive with more practicality than most sports cars. But don't expect as much interior space as you'd find in a typical small SUV.

The fact that everyone here is either saying they love how it looks or they think it's ugly as sin goes to show Nissan's done it right. Positive or negative cars just don't invoke much passion these days, not with all the restrictions they have to work with and all the bean counters wanting to get the most of your dollar. Cars used to be unique, gave you reasons to lust over one brand or another, now they're all various shades of beige. This is a bright neon-green in a beige world, I love it.

The front of this car is so ugly. It looks like someone smashed the front end of a grandam on top of a mini cooper.

Well, well, the Pontiac Aztec isn't the ugliest after all 

[ramoash92]

Piece of shit.

I don't like exterior design but numbers or sale says other way which is strange. What happen here is Nissan engineers hit the empty market spot where this kind of car needed. Also i saw a new sport version which transformed it into something very different animal.

They should have called it the joke instead of the juke

[soccerfan6789]

one of the ugliest cars known to man

[eltkzk]

What a design

[Tbolt1000TForLife]

ugliest car ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MagicBulletsX]

Its a fucking beetle

[MikeWebber3]

Learn how to say Nissan properly you idiot.

[therealmedium]

how much and how many?

[xor559]

One of the ugliest designs I've seen. Right up there with the Pontiac Aztec. Someone in the design dept needs to be demoted.

[clunkerboy1]

UGLY..lol

[shm3n4ru]

Dammnn its soo ugly! i would fire the guy who designed this and the cube.

Cookies are made to be eaten, not driven. I hate cookie-cutter cars. It's why I bought my Juke. Gotta love factory-tuned turbos, the tune on this is so conservative. $500 of intake/exhaust and you've jumped it from 188 to 225hp. When this gets a decent aftermarket engine management system, it should easily dial up another 12-15hp which is pretty damn good considering the stock weight of the S weighs about as much as a Honda S2000. Loving the crocodile eyelids as well.

best car in the world !

I'm buying a 2012 juke Monday

@TwistedD85PS3 You said it!

I don't know of any other car that provokes so much comments on it's look, it's a very distinctive look and it's true, the front looks a bit weird with the double lights and the grin like grill, but i just love it, it's daring and unique and i think a lot of haters are really close minded and plain intolerant, and probably not only with this car but in general

I respect opinions though, but criticism has to have a little more foundation than just calling it ugly

@srabchun with a frog

[highdeserthater]

I thought it looked really cool. Its a nice car, it's a sportscrossover.

[illcrewtk]

Nissan was obviously kidding about the design....right?

[thetaoofken]

@TwistedD85PS3 I agree, I like Nissan's move with this car, and I like the styling of this one too. You make a great point, so many cars are so blah and similar, this one certainly takes a risk.

[robbypanjik]

@ROFLCOPT3R90210 no man !

this is a cool design 

[dproffessa]

I thought the Tiida/Versa was ugly but this takes the cake

[davidhalifax]

The Rogue is too big as a compact SUV for city driving. The Juke could be a great alternative in the sub-compact SUV category, too bad it doesn't offer more rear seat space and cargo room.

[ROFLCOPT3R90210]

design fail.
