    Yup, I saw one the other day as well. Again, not a VX, but I did like it. Its odd looking and funky and it has a nice posture. I won't be buying one any time soon, but I can tell by looking at it that it has that "not for everyone" feel to it.

    That's a pretty good article. More VX than Juke.

    You can order one now too. They are apparently building them "per order". You can imagine the pricetag. Higher than your normal GTR. IMHO, it's still the same ugly little car, just has bigger balls.

    No thanks.

    They really should do a performance shoot-out between a Juke GTR and a Ferrari/Porsche/Corvette. With the same drivetrain but less weight you have to think this thing would be insanely fast.

    Juke and VX designer are one and the same

    Shiro Nakamura was the chief designer for Isuzu when he created the Vehicross. After is stint with Isuzu, he moved on to Nissan and designed the FX-45, and his latest creation, is the Juke.

    I didn't know this until after I bought the Juke. It's a Turbo crossover that I average 26 MPG. Not bad at all, considering the same commute with the VX is 13 MPG.

    So there you have it folks. The Juke is the the VX's ugly little brother.

    I guess I'm just attracted to ugly.
