The Juke is definitely more of a crossover than my Fit. The gas mileage in the Fit is really what attracted me to it and the sporty nature of the car is a nice bonus.

If you can afford the NISMO I would definitely go for it!

I like what you've done with yours. It looks really good.

I wish I could have. The base model was the best I could do. I needed my payments under $200/month and I didn't want to put more than $2k down or trade anything in.

I'm pretty happy with what I got. Sticker was $21k. I got it for just over $18k.

That looks great, congrats!

Yeah, looking at the spy pics for the new rogue, it's going to be a noticeable improvement over our '11. The new pathfinder is basically just a really big rogue now since they dropped the body on frame real suv with last gen. BUT, it gets 20/26 mpg in fwd and that's equal to what our awd rogue gets which is impressive and makes me exicted for what the next rogue brings to the table.

The fuel mileage was the main reason we wanted to wait for the Rogue. When the new Pathfinders gas mileage is the same as the current Rogue we only assumed the next Rouge will have better gas mileage.

It should be running on that new altima engine so i wouldn't be surprised if mileage turns out to be 25/33 on the rogue.

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

True dat... I'm waiting on the Nismo Leaf. lol

I really like the Rouge a lot. I can't wait to see what they do with the next version.

The engine is good, but it's only part of the recipe for success with the Altima's fuel mileage. The other part is the revised CVT with the insane final drive. The new Rogue in FWD configuration should do fantastic, but the thing I'm most curious about is if Nissan translates the final drive and overall CVT design to the AWD platform. Pretty sure they did it with the Pathfinder but it wasn't as dramatic due to the towing capability they wanted it to have. The Rogue should be a different story.
