Nissan Juke - a quick thought

Juke
 

Nissan unveiled a strange-looking, oddly-named SUV today.  And I love it. Sounds wrong on all sorts of levels? Probably, but the Juke - a segment-busting SUV that's roughly B-car (Fiesta) sized - makes sense for lots of reasons. Retaining the high driving position, butch styling of SUVs that people love, while junking the, erm, junk is a good start. But the best thing about it, is that - for the first time in a long time - a car maker has managed to get a concept car through to production without emasculating it into oblivion (looking at you Honda CR-Z). This is by far the most interesting thing in car design we've yet seen in 2010.

For having the guts to be willfully weird, I hope for Nissan's sake that it sells like hot cakes.
