Nissan Juke console

I found this interesting. It actually kind of looks like a moto tank.

Says right on the photo it's motorcycle inspired. I'd hope it looks a bit like a motos  tank 

Saw one of these in my office parking the other day. It's an odd looking creature. A bit like a mazda 3 5 door, a Smart car and an Infinity SUV got it on in some sort of odd DNA cocktale

Do you supposed it expands and can't be unlatched ?

That car's fuglier than sin. We saw one at a Motor Trend autoshow.  



The front grill along with the whacked out head lights makes you wonder if they just couldn't make up their minds.

For what it's worth though. Here's a better angle on the console:



I think that big plastic colored consoles just look really cheap.

Nissan's got all sorts of crap that you can add to it. Try it out if you're bored:

The body color plastic interior does look tacky. We had a PT cruiser rental a few years back that had the same kind of color plastic interior accents. I guess to each his own. There was also a reference that the gauge cluster was motorcycle inspired. I wonder how many people have actually thought to themselves "I really wish I had a car who's styling was inspired by motorcycles."

It looks much better in person, IMO.  Lots of fun to drive as well.

I think the car looks lovely. Better than my '92 Civic  ghetto edition.

I really liked the early 90's hatch back civics.

I'm actually considering buying it. I hated the Murano when it first came out but loved it after I drove it for a rental. Its just a mini version. I still don't like the Rogue though. The Juke is great on gas too. I've been wanting a 4 door Jeep Wrangler forever but the shitty gas mileage gas been steering me away. As for looks, I guess one could say "it's so fugly, it's cute". :p

I kinda dig it, the commercials make it look hideous...that pic looks kinda good and I quite like the moto tank console

Hmmm..I didn't like the final comments.  It rattles unnervingly off-road.  I was hoping it would have some capabilities off the highway.  When I looked at it about a month ago..I didn't notice the motorcycle looking console.  Maybe because I didn't see it from the passenger side angle that the picture shows.  Still..looks like a fun vehicle to drive.  A lot better looking than the 4 door Mini.

try this........I went to one of the links and played with the color schemes and the stripe  details./ I came up with a white car with the red/black door pillar stripe kit. It looked way better imho.
its kinda like the configurator we have to play with bikes on DMF.

New Nissans look overstyled to me. I had a nissan pickup that was a money pit and vowed never again, but new designs cause people to reconsider that sort of proclamation. I like that they're aggressively trying to draw attention with new looking vehicles, but not the end product.

The juke does not make the short list of cars I'd buy in 3-4 years when I plan on replacing my Subaru.

I have serious concerns about the direction that Nissan is going when they do stupid stuff like this:



It's like they're just copying the PT cruiser.
