Stock, I think the juke is hideous.
This? well....this will be epic.

I wonder how unstable this car is going to be at speed. I'd love to have an hour behind the wheel on a road course!

I would hope the tech's fiddled with the electronics to accomodate the shorter wheelbase (250mm difference I think). I would bet it will be hard at work keeping this thing on the track. I think even the GT-R would be pretty "unstable" on the track without the GT-R electronic's. Then again, the Juke-R does have to manage the roughly 800 lbs difference in weight.

But really brings an interesting point up, were it detuned to 350 hp, for a production model, what would that mean for the Z? I have always liked the way the juke looks. but its a suv crossover with jack for space, might as well be a taller hot hatch. Still those looks are good. ATOMIC BULLFROG AWAY!

yea, and it's a different market now then back then... The Zx didn't sell nearly as well as it should, or I think it would have, if it was released today

I'm sure they've addressed it, but I still think this car is going to be interesting to drive. The GTR is huge, which helps it stay planted. This car is tiny. I'm not saying it's going to be undrivable or anything... Just that it's going to take some skill and/or restraint to keep it in a straight line ;)
