Some have said the all new Nissan Juke is a little "Funny Looking." But this small crossover is no joke. The vehicle is winning accolades across the nation - attracting fans old and new, and most important of all, potential buyers onto dealership lots.

The Juke is no joke. It's one of the 'fastest, best-handling, best-equipped small cars available in the U.S. Market' according to the Washington Post. Who are we to argue with Washington?

Prices for the 2011 Nissan Juke range from $18,960 for the front-wheel-drive base, to $24,550 for the fully loaded, all-wheel-drive Juke SL. Both are very affordable, especially for a ride falling into the crossover class. But is it more like a hatchback? Nissan has dubbed it "Sports Crossover." We just like how Juke rides.

The Juke comes standard with a 1.6-liter, turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine. "Turbo-charging - pulling more air into combustion chambers via exhaust-driven impellers - boosts engine power without an appreciable increase in fuel consumption." Juke gets a maximum 188 horsepower and 177 foot-pounds of torque, that's with 32 miles per gallon highway and 27 mpg city.

While Governments worldwide are pushing auto manufacturers to improve fuel efficiency, the result is usually lighter automobiles with smaller engines.

Consumers (and Nissan fans) applaud fuel efficiency. With numbers like this, the all new Nissan Juke is going to become the belle of the gas saving ball.

Test drive the all new, interesting looking, Nissan Juke now, come down to Lokey Nissan on 27758 U.S. Hwy 19 North on Clearwater, FL 33761.
