Nissan has announced that it will sell a new compact "crossover SUV," the badly-named Juke, in Canada beginning this fall. This photo is all they'll reveal until tomorrow, but I think it looks a little like a Kia Soul that faced into a heavy windstorm. Which could be a good thing.
The press release said that the Juke will join the Rogue and Murano, but nothing was said about the Cube, which tells me that the little box's days are numbered. I like the Cube, but it seems I'm in the minority. I don't know how many are actually going out the door, but I've only ever seen a handful on the road in private hands. That's a shame. No matter what, it's hard on any company to bring out something with good intention and have it fall flat. I think the Cube's biggest problem is that it's a Japanese car that's simply too Japanese.
