Nisan Juke's new advertisement - Honda CRZ Forum: Honda CR-Z Hybrid Car Forums

Just saw this in the November issue of Road and Track

I didn't know they had the
"Normal, Sport and Eco" Modes, but it looks as if they are putting it out there now...

Yes, always had the three modes, but ECO isn't, and Sport, well, I guess.
Glad to see they found the ONE photo angle that the car looks half decent in.
To me, they were not enough car for too much money, but that's just one person's opinion.
Apparently, Nissan feels this is "innovation". Hmmmmm.

I test drove a Juke with CVT and ECO and Sport work just like the CR-Z, one retards throttle response the other makes the car feel jumpy. Juke gets pretty terrible fuel economy not matter what mode your in.

I've seen a few on the road, but have yet to find an angle that makes it look good! I would think the turbo is the best part of the whole "car"... The lights in front are just wrong

same, the juke is that much of an appealing car. It looks like a frog on wheels.

LOL... I was actually considering a Juke before I went for the CR-Z. I like how different it is... and the higher than car clearance without being and SUV... and the AWD. I enjoyed the drive. The gas mileage though is horrible. The finish on the car was also nowhere near as good as the CR-Z... and it turned out I liked the 2 seat fun car more than the stuff of the Juke... plus I really did not want a CVT... and you can't get AWD in a manual on it.

As for the looks... it's one of those love it or hate it things. I personally really liked it... though yes the frog lights required more forced like than just enjoy it right away.

With the Joke, err.. Juke, being turbocharged there is more room to make sport mode acutally sporty.

I was considering buying the AWD CVT Turbo with all the options for the wife a while back. Test drove one. It'll get up and go in Sport/Turbo.

Yea - the looks are love it or hate it. Wife thought it was - eh - cute.

Decided against it in the end - MPG and with the Turbo - 92 octane is recommended. I hate paying for gas.
