The 2011 Nissan Juke is a direct competition with the 2011 Scion tC. But, it gets better gas mileage, more power and torque, cheaper, less curb weight, smaller engine...Hmm...I'm trying to find something positive to say for the tC...but I can't. Sad.

I doubt there is any competition. I heard Nissan Jukes are already sold out for the first batch.

 

I like the Juke...it is the type of vehicle Scion should be building

 

Yea, I would buy one if it didnt look horrible. The tC2 definitely beats the Juke in that category.

 

Wait, that thing has 188hp? Holy crap, I was guessing 130-140.

AND it's AWD? Holy ____!

If it wasn't for that completely ____ed up front end, this thing would easily be the best sub-20k car.



It looks a lot like the Volvo C30.

 

It can be ordered in AWD as well.

 

Yea, and AWD doesn't even cost any more money, so you can get a Juke S AWD for ~$19,000, or whatever the invoice is.

 

Okay, looking at the back of it, it looks like a retarded duck.



Badge placement, bumper, c-pillars..they're all wrong. This car only looks good from the side. I really like the roofline of it.

 

Should have called it the Puke. It's too ugly to be competition for anything but the Pontiac Aztec.

 

too bad it looks like a cross between cat vomit and a 65 year old prostitute

 

:blahhhh:

 

If only it didn't look like straight up ___.

 

Its a crossover more in competition with a Toyota Rav4 or Ford Escape but undercutting those vehicles by about $3000 at the cost of being ugly. Its definitely got a mug only a mother would love...

I'd rock the last one.

 

repost!!

 

I work at a Nissan dealership and I got to drive a couple around for PDIs. All of them 6 speeds. It is a great daily driver. The clutch is like butter, shifts are smooth, and its sporty, functional and has the cool quirky looks. I'm a big fan.

 

Nissan says it's competition for the Mazda3, Scion tC, Honda Civic, etc. But it's too bad the design is not appealing to the masses.

 

with some better wheels tires, mud flaps and extra set of fog lights it would fit right in with the PWRC cars!

 

Oh great, the ricers have already began. Way to turn something ugly into something worse. I'd rather have AIDS than a car with those wheels.

 

Wow thats a little far dont ya think? LOL
