I saw those on Facebook... looks awesome man!

I was kind of disappointed, my rear windows didn't come tinted so I'm going to have to get them all done.

Yeah I noticed that. I didn't realize tint was an option for the rear windows.

no, not at all. but they do fit the bill for us in practicality which for the dd, is the primary driver.

EVERY time the wife and I are in the rogue we both agree it's the car we hate to love b/c it does exactly what we need our dd to do so well but also so uneventfully that it is frustrating.

awd-check
good mpg for suv-check
can fit up to 8ft long cargo-check
comfy for drives-check
enough power to get out of it's own way-check
fun-no check
stylish-no check, not bad looking but not setting the world on fire either.

pluses outweigh the minuses. If only they made a nismo rogue...

Sadly, practicality isn't always fun.

The way Nissan is acting with the Nismo badge, expect a Nismo Rogue and a Nismo NV3500 van.

I had a loaded Juke SL 4wd loaner for a week and really liked it. It got almost as good gas mileage in the city (28mpg) as it did on the highway (30mpg) and was fun to drive.

Nice... I hope I get that kind of MPG on mine.

I didn't realize you don't get an independent rear suspension on the fwd models. I'm not a huge fan of twist-beam rears. Still, it looks like it does pretty well with what it's got.

Hey thanks for all the comments fellas.. Thing is I needed to downsize from the Z cost wise. I didn't want a box, didn't want a tank, didn't want a gas-guzzler, didn't want a Hyundai. I wanted something befitting of a previous Z owner. I think this lil Nismo version of the Juke was a coming out party for someone at Nissan. They got someone's permission to Hulkify something to grab the attention of the public - to put some zip in an otherwise humdrum 2013 vehicle line-up. Strange thing is - it only comes in 3 colors. Sapphire Black for the guys, White for the girls, and Gray for those who can't make up their mind. Am I having a little bit of Z withdrawal? Yeah.. but its healing up... and the Nismo is the medicine.

P.S. First mod was a stubby antenna, a combination carbon fiber and anodized red - to match the mirrors..
