New competition from Nissan
 
Okay so it's not really new but it looks like Nissan changed their mind and they're going to build 20-25 Juke R's for sale to the public. Now where did I leave that $600k...

Yeah, why would you buy an ugly copy of the GT-R for significantly more money than the GT-R itself?

Because, my friend. Because race car.

Ultimate sleeper?

to each their own, personally I think it is a badass little car!

The only question I have is, is it going to flip when rounding corners?

$600k... ahem, are they on ****** something. WTF!

EASY Pass

Nissan felt that Toyota/Lexus was getting too much attention for an overpriced Japanese supercar, so they had to one up them?

Wow... talk about paying for exclusivity.

For $600k I could:
buy 3 GT-Rs + 3 donor Jukes
pay all the labor
get any extra goodies I'd want
And still have money to buy a house with a three car garage for all the rides.

Or buy one Juke R from Nissan.

Same here! Sorry, but for $600K I'd buy 2 of these at $185K each and have money left over to actually use them!

It sits on GT-S Chassis, not Juke Chassis.

Or 10 incredibly well-tuned imports with a garage that can all beat it

Wasn't this covered about two months ago?
Edit. I need to read the whole thing first. Nevermimd.

I think the Juke-R was the dumbest thing they ever thought of. It sounds to me like one of those things that some dumbass in the office said jokingly, "Hey Billy? Wouldn't it be crazy if a Juke had the GT-R engine in it?" Stupid and waste of money if you ask me...:slap:
