LONDON — Nissan will host the global premiere of its newest European crossover vehicle, the Juke, in early March at the 2010 Geneva Auto Show. Based on the Qazana concept from last year's Geneva show, the Juke will go on sale across Europe in October.
The Juke will join Nissan's growing portfolio of crossovers in Europe. It will be produced alongside the Qashqai, the Qashqai+2 and the Note at the automaker's Sunderland plant in the U.K. In size and price, it will be slotted between the Note and the Qashqai.
Nissan said the Juke was designed to give European customers "an alternative to the traditional small hatchback."
More details will be released at the car's pre-show media launch in early February.

I love it keeps the bold styling of the Qazana concept. We're in 2010, we need more avant-garde design like this statewide.

We have seen this before. In late 1990s, it was called Celica GT-4.

Looks like a sportier, crossover version of the Kia Soul with nice rear wheel arches to the body... Not a bad thing.
