Brother in law has just taken delivery today of this for all of us to use when in Amman. Looks awfully like an updated Juke to me.

A sort of sanitised version, somewhat similar to the Hyundai Kona/Kia Stonic/Soul.

Still wouldn't buy one, not with their reliability woes.

If it is the Juke replacement, it's much less painful to look at.

However, for the hell of it i clicked on the link and spent ten minutes squirming and cringing at the utter cobblers these manufacturer's sales bods come up with, ie ''floating roof'', what's a floating roof when it's at home,'' zero gravity seats''?

But the best one must be ''With the the advanced D-Step CVT transmission, you have a virtually gearless road warrior''

NURSE!

Floating roofs have been around for a good while - when all the pillars are black, as opposed to body colour. It (kind of) gives the impression that the roof is ‘floating’ above the car.
Zero Gravity seats use research carried out by NASA in how the body adopts its most comfortable position without gravity getting in the way.

Kicks - Made in Brazil, China, Mexico +production starting in Chennai, India soon.

Chennai? was that where the Micra (the one before the current Clio clone from France) came from? It was a poorly designed, poorly built car which did nothing for Nissan in UK with regard to both sales. reliability & image
