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?

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

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
