I used to feel the same way. They're easily the ugliest thing to hit the road since the Pontiac Aztec.
But then I drove one. I got stuck with it as a rental on a business trip and was thoroughly primed to hate it. But after driving it for several days, I can honestly say that if I were in the market for a new daily driver, the Juke would be on my short list. It's just a pleasure to drive, and when you're driving it you don't actually have to look at the hideous thing. I really don't understand what the designers were thinking when they put the skin on it, but underneath they were definitely thinking of the driver.

The inside does make up for the looks. Especially with the rs model like mine. The seat alone are worth it. Mine put out 205 whp in its prime days so it ran pretty good. Did a few autocross events in it and did really good. Its a very capable vehicle that can do a little of everything. And btw, Jukes are no longer in production for the US anymore.

Jukes are marketed over this side of the pond as "Urban Crossovers"
WTF that means I have no idea. There seems to be a trend to slapping URBAN! on everything to make it sound more modern.
I'm 100% rural so URBAN! just makes me think of graffiti and dog ****.
