Odly familiar. I heard rumors one of the designers for the VX moved over to Nissan.

Yup--- a long time ago. It brought the Murano into existance.
Simon cox if i am not mistaken is the guy you are talking about
But one thing for sure....looks WAY much better then the nissan joke.............i mean........juke
Really? I like the Juke. It looks like something that would match the VX well, and has a turbo :PQuote:

I like both cars...for what they are. The leaf would be great for an around town/errand car...and it looks1000x nicer than a prius (although the 2 new vehicle being added to the prius lineup are a huge improvement in looks). The juke just looks like a fun little car and in real life has a bit of wcs rally look to it. But neither are meant to be a speed demon...they are what they are. :)
I didn't like the Juke at first, but it's growing on me. I'm still not a big fan of the side view but I definitely like the front end.
Once I saw a black one, it reminded me of a movie I really like:

Maybe it's because the front is so bulbous, the hood so featureless and the headlights (eyes) are in the "wrong" place.
When I saw one in person, I was surprised those clear turn signal covers on the hood stick up so high. It may be even slightly weirder than "headlight horns" (which I appreciate) and looks like something that should be on a dinosaur (which I appreciate.)
I think the Juke is awesome. Great little runabout, affordable, decent gas mileage, and interesting styling in an otherwise derivative new car market. Its not meant to be a VX, but it is cool for what it is.
Im thinking how nice it would be to not pay $80.00 to drive round trip to my land. 140 miles one way...I get a whopping 14mpg which means---10 gallons x $4.00 gallon =40 bucks, round trip 80 bucks. Why why why didn't they give the VX better gas mileage! $4.00 to drive 14 miles, that's sad. So yes, I like both of those vehicles. They look cool...but I'm not a conformist so I'll stick with the VX and wish I could afford to drive it.
Do some research and figured out how much were the fuel price back in 1998-99.Quote:

Number 2 is SHIRO NAKAMURA.. The designer of the VX
x2 Gussie. You were right the first time-- it's called the Nissan "Joke" or the Nissan "Puke" (either is correct).;puke2;Quote:
