    Rumorpile: Good-Bye Juke, Hello Kicks?

      Nissan considers Kicking out the Juke

    The quirky Nissan Juke could be on its way out of the North America. The Truth About Cars has learned from two sources that Nissan could kill the Juke after the 2017 or 2018 model year. Its replacement is the Brazilan Nissan Kicks crossover which was introduced last year. Not surprisingly, Nissan declined to comment.

    The Juke received a mixed reception when it launched in 2010 mostly down to its looks. But soon, the model would begin to find buyers. Its best year was back in 2014 with 38,184. Now, the Juke has been in freefall with sales of 19,577 in 2016. 2017 isn't faring any better with only 5,047 Jukes leaving dealer lots.

    The Kicks isn't as polarizing as the Juke in terms of looks. It is also slightly bigger than the Juke - 3.2 inches longer wheelbase. TTAC says the Kicks is likely to get the turbocharged 1.6L from the Juke. Sources say it could just be front-wheel drive only.

    I like the Juke for whatever reason.

    Not that I would be caught dead or alive seen in one.

    But I find something interesting about it. I cant seem to put my finger on why I like it, but I do!

    Life is strange this way sometimes!

    The Juke is distinctive, doesn't look like anything else on the road.   Sat in one at an auto show once, the rear seat area seemed cramped and it felt very narrow inside...

    Now that you said it, I think I like it because of what you said: It is distinctive and doesn't look like anything else on the road and I do find it visually appealing.

    I think those are good enough reasons to like it...but Id never be caught dead in one!

    Id take the Maxima in a heartbeat though!

    I always thought the Juke resembled a radioactive bunnyrabbit from spaaaaace.  The Kicks looks better, but it needs AWD as an option... FWD-only also kills Toyota's Coupe High-Roof.

    Err... Rogue Sport

     

    Also known as the Qashqai in Europe.    While watching a British crime drama last week, I heard a couple of references to a suspect's 'Cashkey' then I realized what they were talking about when the car was shown..

    • Take a look at these Cement homes, I find many to be very nice and am hoping that one day to build one as a retirement home in the Rambler format. There are some lovely home for Cement that most people would not realize are cement. There are 35 different two story and ramblers with some of the ramblers having basements, but these 4 I have included on top of the 7z file are my favorite for Cement homes.

    • @balthazar was the one who dealt with this and has not been seen in a while, I am unsure he would answer you.
    • With cars, I do like dark metallic gray on luxury sedans and sports cars, esp with red interiors (I love red interiors—so uncommon today)… but those light battleship grays and  matte grays…ugh.  
    • Europeans have for a long time, used concrete to build their homes. Not just the foundations that we do here in North America, but the whole house.  Dare I say for thousands of years?   But even in modern times, Europe (Greece as the next sentences is anecdotal) has used concrete for their foundations and walls as long as I remember going back to the late 1970s.   The concrete is bare inside and out as I recall. Maybe today they paint?  And these concrete homes are not mansions for rich peoples, but homes for everyday peoples. I dont mind concrete for the whole house.  If I was living in Europe that is.  Here in North America I prefer my wood framed and drywall  homes.  In a modern mansion?  Concrete?  Id say maybe.  Depending on how the home is styled I guess.  But I dont like big mansions either though.  I find huge homes useless and lifeless.  I would have a huuuuuuuuge garage though.  And the garage would be fully concrete. So there is that. I grew up with a mother that hated colour in her home. White walls. White appliances. White dishes. But flower patterned sofas and chairs. French Provincial style  on top of that.  And flowers everywhere. The colour in our home came from real plants.   I hate white walls.  I hate flowers in the house and I LOATHE French Provincial anything and everything...        I hate grey on anything. Especially cars.  But my basement walls where my TV resides, the colour of the walls are dark grey where the TV is and the other three sides are a lighter shade of grey.  I hate grey rainy weather.   Grey is such a depressing colour. Black on walls?  Ill pass.  But as an accent somewhere I wouldnt mind.
