Nissan has a pretty long history of making the cars it wants to make, not necessarily the cars the market says they want. The GT-R is a wild, AWD coupe that is sized like a sedan, and it sacrifices creature comforts in the pursuit of speed with a relatively tiny price tag. Then we have the Murano Crosscabriolet, which should need no explanation for its quirkiness. So when Nissan decided to enter the compact performance market, it didn’t build a small coupe or sedan, it built a crossover with frog face and they called it the Juke. I loved the Juke but I wished it was faster. Then Nissan made a Nismo Juke, and it was also wonderful. But then Nissan decided they wanted a faster version, of the faster version, of their compact performance crossover. This is the 2015 Nissan Nismo Juke RS, and it might just be the most underrated performance car on the market.
