Nissan Juke

The Nissan Juke has been quite a trendsetting little vehicle. It’s odd looking and quirky, but turned out to be very popular with customers around the world. In fact, the Juke was so popular that lots of other automakers stepped up with vehicles in the same SUV/crossover size range.

Nissan has been producing the Juke since October 2010 and the car has proven to be a big hit with drivers around the world. The Juke is the second best selling Nissan model in Europe, with over 700,000 units sold since it debuted.

Nissan has done well with its quirky Juke crossover. The little SUV is a tight squeeze for four adults, but the turbo engine makes for fun driving once the boost spools up. Now, Nissan has dropped some very big money, $153 million to be exact, to prepare its UK facility to build the second generation Juke. 

Look, we’re all hurting. It’s been a long time since we got to see Clarkson, Hammond, and May act like asshats, play with cars, mock each other, and amuse us perfectly. If they were still making Top Gear they’d probably racing a Ferrari FF down a frozen mountain against Hammond riding a yeti by now.

I just got back from Iceland where I drove the new Land Rover Discovery Sport. While that was a very nice car that you’ll be hearing about shortly, the car I saw there that I wanted to drive the most was a Land Rover Defender with a tracks kit.
