Now that Nissan UK is finished with the dog-and-pony promotional show for the Nissan Juke-R, it's free to do what we've all been waiting for: hand it over to The Fourth Estate for proper testing. AutoExpress was the first in line, and they didn't waste the chance, pitting Faust's CUV against the car that made it possible, the Nissan GT-R, around the Bedford Autodrome circuit.

We could tell you more, but this isn't the time for words – the long-awaited action is in the video after the jump. Still want more? There's an article to go with it over on AutoExpress.

John Blaze They should pit this car against the Cayanne Turbo and BMW X6 M on the same track, just to see how their track times turn out. That should be interesting. Then throw in a Caddy CTS V Wagon just for fun.

IBx27 That was boring. We want a drag race, or a head-to-head track thing.

Ken Kelly should have been the Maxima R plain and simple. People might actually pay for it as well...

AcidTonic I'm confused. I thought the executives didn't approve of this whole Juke-R project and were basically upset this flagship technology was transplanted into a different car.

So now that it's been showcased and continually brings new attention to the Nissan brand, they have done a 180 and suddenly they endorse such behavior.

Yet another sign executives are *completely* out of touch and have no idea what kind of marketing attracts true enthusiasts.

Basil Exposition "I thought the executives didn't approve of this whole Juke-R project and were basically upset this flagship technology was transplanted into a different car."

That was a PR stunt - they were not really upset. It was done to give the project a "Bad Boy" image.

GO MUSTANG They should make a "JT-R" badge for the front similar to the GT-R badge...

k_m94 There is just so much WIN with the Juke R. Really silly, spending probably close to a million dollars of development money making a GTR taller, heavier, slightly slower, and a bit uglier. But who cares? It is pure engineering magic: Come up with a goofy idea and go to town with it.

moredanyou Why do car places love the Juke R so much? it's just the same old ugly Juke body riding on a GTR platform. Really, it's just a GTR crossover.

Agent55 Wow, a comparo-vid that actually takes place on a road course instead of a stand-alone drag race?! I'm baffled.

Let me be clear. I need you to SUPPORT the artist whose music you see/hear in the music player here. Some of them are my FRIENDS!! I want them to make money. So while I may put up a link here or there that they didn't 'endorse', it is only out of the love for their music and the fact that I want you to SUPPORT THEM. So please do. Seek out their music. Some of them are VASTLY UNDERRATED and your FAVORITE MUSICIAN loves them. So it isn't 'talent'. It is exposure. Which is all I am trying to give them here.. SO SUPPORT THEM!!!

Pictures/Women. I post 'em up ON THE REG. I post 'em, pay the compliments I want to when necessary and leave it at that. Period. If you happen to be the 'man in the young lady's life', don't worry dawg, I don't want your woman. I'm good.

If the fact that I do post up women means that you don't 'respect' any serious topic I discuss then your 'Fuck You and your respect ' is in the link below...Go ahead and read it....I think that should about cover how I feel about what 'you think'..

As for the 'woman' who are afraid of being 'exploited' by a site like the one I run here..Or who feel like I 'stole' your pics or something along those lines.. I have addressed you as well...

UPDATE: The Internet World has evolved. I will leave the disclaimer up however as most of you know, press is press to most people.

I do occasionally interview folks so browse around. I don't call them interviews though. I call 'em 'Chats' 'cause that is usually what is like. Not claiming to be some CNN reporter over here. Just asking questions that many of us want answers to and some questions that some of you don't THINK TO ASK OR THINK CERTAIN FOLKS ARE GOING THROUGH/THINKING ABOUT/DOING. I like to dig deep so if you agree to an interview, be prepared. I might ask you anything. I probably will stay away from the majority of the 'standard' questions though. Just bare that in mind.

The popular posts usually contain enough POSITIVE examples of how this works great for both THE BLOG and the subjects of the posts. Usually, those post are a DIRECT RESULT of support from the young lady via a posting on THEIR OWN TWITTER, blog or Facebook. So thank you for that IN ADVANCE (and if you have done so in the past..) for that mutual support. It is appreciated. Truly.

Oh and one more thing...

I DON'T WATER MARK PICTURES THAT I DIDN'T EITHER TAKE OR WERE NOT ORIGINALLY GIVEN TO ME. I have seen folks RUSH TO DO IT and it is pretty damm sad. Not my style. I am not a fool. I know that most of what I do in regards to pictures can be replicated so there is no need to act like I'm out here doing more than what it is. I provide a space to see a collection of pictures in that regard. Nothing more. Nothing less. Watermarking pictures that aren't 'mine per say kinda comes off a little pompous to me. That's just me though..

I want you to be able to tell when I do TAKE THE PICTURE without me saying as much. What do I look like watermarking your pictures up if I didn't 'take them'?

You see the watermark on a picture here with the blog's name in it? Then you know I took the picture in some fashion. Screen shot. With the camera phone. With the Canon or the web cam. Or it was given to me for exclusive use. (At least at press time)
