2012 Nissan Juke Review

01.01.70

In a shake, the rearview mirror was filled with a frequent German sight.  Bathed in Darth Vader frowning, wearing its European plate with delight in and glaring menacingly ahead with its side eyes was the opponent of the day.  As starve oneself as it could, the modified Bavarian bomber verged into the leftist lane and began its rapid denunciation to scorch the warm concrete and lay wake to its professedly lackadaisical foe.  But unbeknownst to the surely evil-looking BMW 3-Series, the channel it was attempting to pass and thus humiliate wasn’t upright some run-of-the mill crossover.  Just as the lowered sedan’s front met with the fag-end quarter panel of the odd-looking conduit, the little hatchback’s throttle met its firewall.  All at once, 188 turbocharged horses were released and a look of bewilderment took over the dial of the BMW’s driver.  Try as he might, his Roundeled snobbery-and-joy simply could not keep up with the 2012 Nissan Juke.

Unveiled as a 2011, the Juke marks a new entr into a previously uncharted segment for Nissan.  Placed under the laconic Rogue, the littlest crossover is classified as a Mini and thus, doesn’t have much in the be composed of of competition.  Judged on bulk alone, the B Platform based (shared underpinnings with the Versa and Cube) Juke could run supreme-to-head with the Kia Soul and Scion XD but further exploration reveals that the Nissan is a bit more than just a funky-looking hatchback.  A raised delaying provides seven inches of ground room while optional all wheel drive gives it the awareness of gravel excursions.  With that in capacity and given its very similar length to the all veer drive optional Suzuki SX4, the Juke might find a challenger in the other Japanese hatchback.  If the two were to come across at a stop light however, there is no doubt that the Suzuki would have in a predicament seeing the Nissan’s curvaceous ass lights.  This means that for the sometimes being, the Juke might just be in a class of its own.
