Nissan Juke vs. Scion xD
As I was walking to work this morning I spotted one of the rarest of birds: a Scion xD. It is so rare to see them (at least here in NYC) that as I was walking up on it I first thought it was a Nissan Juke. It was precisely at that moment that I realized that the two cars are really similar and that Nissan may very well be trying to move down-market (or is it laterally) and appeal to the younger, more hip drivers that flock to the Scion brand.
So, what do you think? Do you like the Nissan Juke or the Scion xD better?

They're not in the same class... The Juke is a more upmarket - more features, more attention to driving dynamics, and more power (the xd is what, 130 hp?). Simply not comparable... Closer to the xd in Nissans stable would be the Versa.

Thanks for the great reply. I guess I asked because, at first sight, the Juke reminded me of the xD. But, after hearing what you have to say and looking a little more closely at the Versa I see your point. Still, when you compare the xD and the Versa (or even the Juke for that matter) it seems like Scion wins hands down on the styling and aesthetic fronts.

(guess what my wife drives!)

It's not a bad car - just not exciting at all to drive. It's perfect for someone who wants a roomy, frugal car and doesn't really care about driving.
Neither the xD or Versa hold a candle to the Fit on driving pleasure or cargo capability.
And of course the Nissan forums will defend them. Confirmation bias. When people spend $10,000+ on a purchase, they will do anything to feel they made the right choice.
