NEW YORK AUTO SHOW: First REAL-Life Shots Of Nissan's Juke, Is It This The Styling Nissan Needs?

Nissan's Juke certainly is a strange looking beast. I cannot quite put my finger on it.

It is like a mix between something Italian, for the front lights, a Kia Soul, for the roofline, and a Volvo wagon, for the rear's taillights.

Ultimately there are two questions to ask here:

1) Is this the lively styling Nissan needs to inject some more life into the brand?

Think about it: is there a Nissan product, besides the 370Z, that has emotion built into its design -- the automotive community seems to find the GT-R not that good looking, do you believe that?!

2) Does it work?

There are certainly some interesting design themes going on here but I have yet to decide if it creates a flow, like a great automotive design should.

What do you think, Spies?
