According to Motor Trend's article the concept started out as a "hot-hatch", but is now a coupe (along the lines of the pic above).

Competition, in any segment, is a good thing.

Nissan is not playing the heritage card. That's going to hurt them.
The FR-S/86 play the Japanese heritage card very, very well. I think this is one of the reasons this car is doing so well, apart from the high acclamations from almost every single magazine to get its hands on it.

Nissan will fluke with this juke/joke of a machine. "Silvia" is what should be ringing in their engineer's heads, not "Frankenstein Parts-bin Juke-baby".

The funny thing is the Veloster Turbo makes more power and better mpg from a turbo 1.6 than the Juke does lol
