I have always thought that vans offered more utility than most SUVs. My old Chevy Astro was awesome for camping, all our gear four bikes and four people all inside. Not too many SUVs can do that, definetley not the small ones like this.
Weird.. I generally hate concepts from every manufacturer... I am sure if this is released here it will eventually look better.
I want one!
Most of the mini-SUVs in this price category look bland. This looks ultra modern and sharp. The looks aren't timeless, but compared to other "style only" cars it's awesome!
Peppy turbo four should make driving AWD in winter fun.

I actually love the way the Vehicross looks, and this Nissan reminded me of it immediately. I just wish the Nissan was a two door as well.

It looks like a Murano that got stepped on! The headlights are pretty ugly in my opinion. I kinda like the interior though.

If you ignore the strange styling, a FWD Juke with a Manual Transmission could potentially be a very fun, yet economical daily driver. I think I will definitely go test drive one of these when they become available.

Nope. Still can't get over its hideous looks, inside and outside.

Here's something interesting:

It's really difficult to pin down whether the Nissan Juke will sell well when it arrives here in the States this fall. The micro-crossover doesn't have a lot of competition and its affordable anticipated starting price of well under $20,000; both good signs. The big unknown is whether Americans will embrace the Juke's cartoonish looks, which could turn away potential suitors.
Unique looks and diminutive stature doesn't appear to be affecting the little Juke in Japan, though, as Nissan says it already has orders for 10,943 little utes. We already knew Nissan was on track to best its estimate of 1,300 orders in the first month due to the fact that the Japanese automaker had already rung up 5,296 orders in the first week the Juke went on sale.
Among the nearly 11,000 orders cataloged so far, the top color is Radiant Red, with 29 percent of all orders to date. The red interior is a big hit as well, with 59 percent of total orders. And if you're thinking that a bunch of young kids are picking up these affordable little mini-crossovers, think again. So far, the largest demographic for the Juke is the 50 and older club, with 44 percent of all sales. The 20- to 29-year-old club accounts for 15 percent, and the vast majority of orders come from men. Hit the jump to read Nissan's brag-tastic press release.

wow that screams blasphemy outside, but looks good inside though. What were they thinking?
Looks different.
I've merged this thread with one on the same subject from not too long ago.

Have you seen the size of your modern examples?
They are small econoboxes. They shouldn't have names like that, it would be even worse!

Nissan pushes the limits of technology way beyond that of GM. For instance with GM's OnStar system, when the vehicle is stolen it can be traced and controlled via satellite. With the Nissan Juke, it's anti theft system is so advanced,that it actually prevents the car from ever being stolen once a potential thief looks at the car. I don't exactly know how it works but it sounds promising.
