Just spotted this shot of a slammed Nissan Juke over on the High Performance Imports blog. Not sure what to make of this, it does look very cool but it also looks like a bit of a Photoshop job as the car seems to be on Nissan dealership display plates parked at a dealer. Still, with the 190 HP 1.6 L turbo version due to come out by the end of the year in Japan, this could be one JDM ride that might be getting more and more attention in the aftermarket. I drove the Juke a few months back and aside from its headache-inducing CVT transmission, I quite liked it. Nissan can only be commended in my opinion for having the courage to come out with something different.
