The Nissan Juke Nismo and soon the Nismo RS. I didn't know the actually made these AND they offer more power. Don't get me wrong, I still think the Juke is a little wonky looking, but in Nismo trim I can't help but be attracted (perhaps it's the go fast bits).
I'm not just how I missed the Nismo, perhaps I just glazed over all the Juke R postings.

Unfortunately, the Nismo does not address the biggest problem with the Juke. And that is the inability to pair AWD with a stick. Hopefully the RS will fix that.

A Juke is a joke in any form. You can put a NASCAR engine in a Corolla and it does not change anything, IMO.

Reviews suggest it's a bit disappointing. It's been classed as a hot hatch and not fared well against the French and German offerings (Fiesta ST included) at all.

If they would put a proper manual trans in the AWD version they could be onto comething, but for some reason Nissan keeps sticking (no pun intended) with the universally hated CVT garbage.
