    Apparently, Nissan (or a division thereof) are going to build a new London Taxi in Coventry. Whilst its always encouraging to see things being manufactured in this country, I beg that they at least go back to the drawing board with this one - it is utterly hideous!

          Ah yes, the Puke - I know somebody that has one, and apparently its a good enough car; he was very disappointed at the trade-in amount that he was offered for it at his local Nissan dealer - - it would seem that the second hand market for them is not all that 'confident'. Their Cashcow isn't much better.

            Looks like they ran out of ideas when they got to the rear end of that one.;)

              Hideous is the least of it's problems. A cracked bumper on that will be nigh on enough to write it off! And I doubt that it has the turning circle of the proper black cab.

                The Juke does lack in a lot in looks however those who have owned it are very praiseworthy of that motor.

                  I like the Juke, I'd own one if I could! It makes a change to see a car that has different body lines to all the others. :)

                      Now that's plain ugly, but I appreciate it's different looks! :)

                        There's a sticker available for the back of the car that says "Wait until you see the front!".

                          I think nearly all Nissans have a terrible trade in value. I had a Primera years and years ago and found it hard to shift to a dealer as they kept having certain types come to haggle to 'get a good good deal' over them. He said it wasn't worth the hassle to stock them in the end.

                          It could be worse but then the original is a tough act to follow.
