Nissan expands its crossover selection
Rolle, Switzerland 7 January, 2010 - One month before its global media
unveil on February 10th, Nissan today confirms the name of its forthcoming
small Crossover. The Nissan Juke will go on sale from October, following its
global public premiere at Geneva Motor Show in March.
The car was inspired by the Qazana concept car that received such a warm
reception at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show, and will fit into the Nissan
range between the Note compact family car and the Qashqai crossover.
The Nissan Juke has been designed and developed to give customers an
alternative to the traditional small hatchback and will inject some
much-needed dynamism into the small car segment, offering European car-buyers
an alternative to the traditional, uninspiring small hatchback. As the fourth
Crossover in Nissan's European range, Juke intend to reinforce the brand's pioneering
Crossover leadership in Europe.
Juke will be manufactured alongside the Qashqai, Qashqai+2 and Note at Nissan's
state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Sunderland, Great Britain.

We grew off all meats from the GT-R subjects and the boomerang eyed 370Z
could not cause real climax either.
What can we talk about on these long dark days when a worthwhile enthusiast
would not let his darling even close to the dirty, sloppy roads. Just whisper
some cheering words in the dark dim garages about the promises of the forthcoming
spring, during biweekly engine fire up's
