We've now officially heard it from the horse's Nissan's mouth. Today at a pre-Chicago Auto Show (http://www.autoblog.com/category/chicago-auto-show/) event, Nissan confirmed what we've been hearing for the last month (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/01/12/report-nissan-juke-headed-for-american-showrooms-later-this-yea/): the funky Juke will jive its way to America this Fall. The small crossover was presaged by the Qazana (http://www.autoblog.com/2009/11/30/report-production-nissan-qazana-bringing-new-era-of-design-lov/) concept, and the production version promises to share a number of that vehicle's unique styling features.
We'll get our first official glimpse of the new Juke at the Geneva Motor Show (http://www.autoblog.com/category/geneva-motor-show/) next month, and that debut will be followed up later in the month when the Juke gets its North American introduction at the New York Auto Show (http://www.autoblog.com/category/new-york-auto-show/). Nissan says the Juke will offer "a sporty crossover alternative to traditional small hatchback vehicles," which we can only assume to be competing models such as the Kia Soul (http://autoblog.com/model/soul) and Scion xB (http://autoblog.com/model/xb).
The Japanese automaker also tells us that the car's center console was inspired by a motorcycle tank. We never knew we wanted a gas tank-shaped center console until now, but Nissan officially has our interest piqued with that little tidbit. We'll see if the actual implementation is as intriguing as it sounds soon enough; in the meantime, click past the break for the official press release.
