" Those who follow automotive news on various blog sites across the internet universe (including our website) have no doubt already seen this new wild-looking Nissan before. It&amp;#039;s called the Juke and we first saw the compact SUV as the Qazana concept vehicle a few years ago. Then just a few months ago, the production version of the Qazana was unveiled at the Geneva Auto Show. And now in New York, Nissan has introduced the North American Juke. As you can see, very little separates it from the European one.   The styling of the Juke is part SUV, part sedan, part hatchback. In fact, when seen from its profile, it looks like a 5-door hatchback whose ride height has been raised. But it&amp;#039;s the front end that will get the most attention. The Juke&amp;#039;s face is characterized by round lights that sit halfway inside a wide grille, while another set of slim lights is located atop the grille. It&amp;#039;s difficult to tell which set are the actual headlights; we suspect it&amp;#039;s those on top. Nissan is targeting young enthusiasts who value style and civility\u2014those who find that the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V aren&amp;#039;t sporty enough.   The U.S. Juke will probably be powered a turbocharged direct-injected 1.6-liter inline-4 that produces more than 180 bhp and 170 lb.-ft. of torque. The power will be transferred to all four wheels via either a CVT or a 6-speed manual gearbox and Nissan&amp;#039;s 4x4-i system, updated to include torque-vectoring technology. This system will split torque to a maximum of 50/50 front/rear, and vary it left and right to enhance the vehicle&amp;#039;s handling and reduce understeer. Prices are expected to be around $20,000, making the Juke go head to head with the likes of the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport, which will also be available later this year.
