Nissan Keeps Getting Weird With The 2015 Juke

I don’t know why Nissan has to keep being this way with the 2015 Juke. First, instead of being normal about teasing the vehicle with images, the company had to get all fancy by making it look like it had solar flares. A simple darkened image or headlight teaser would have sufficed. But now that the new Juke has officially been unveiled in Geneva, things have gotten even weirder.

If you go to the Juke page on Nissan’s site, there are some predictable photos taken from Geneva, along with some other promo photos the company had ready to go. But mixed seamlessly within the bunch is a shirtless man doing some kind of hyper-motion tricks on the Juke. I don’t know what to make of this, but I know it doesn’t make me want the crossover any more.

The 2015 Juke has been only slightly redesigned. But apparently the redesign is enough to cause a shirtless man, mid-workout mind you, to come sprinting over and attempt to jump over the vehicle. This is not something I want.

It’s unfortunate, because the new Juke does have some intriguing things going on, including a new 1.2-liter turbocharged engine and a lot of upgraded technology like the Around View Monitor four-camera parking aid. It will also fit more cargo by increasing capacity by 40%. And I suppose the new design makes the Juke look pretty decent when it isn’t being used as a piece of workout equipment.

What do you think of the new Juke?
