Why is the Nissan Juke so popular?

Over the last six months or so I have seen increasing numbers of the Nissan Juke. I consider it is without doubt one of the more ugly and unappealing cars on the road today. What makes it so popular? Is there some redeeming feature in the price or facilities offered by Nissan?

People find it cute. Different people actually "see" things differently and find different things appealing (that’s how they find mates). The Juke is a huge seller in the UK and an absolutely massive export earner. The Nissan plant in Sunderland is not only by far the most successful UK car factory, it is one of the most efficient and most successful in the world running at more than 90 per cent of capacity
