This was what I meant when I complained about Chrysler killing the PT Cruiser. KIA Soul, Toyota Scion and now the Nissan Juke all appear to be selling well. Chrysler updates all their bloated vehicles and kills off the one vehicle that could easily compete with a refresh. Watch your tax dollars go down the drain. Anyhow, read on for Nissans press release.

Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. today announced that domestic orders for the all-new Nissan JUKE have greatly exceeded company expectations. Introduced on June 9th, JUKE orders for 10,943 units received to date, about one month after its release, are more than eight times greater than the monthly target of 1,300 units.

With JUKE, Nissan ushers in a new genre of vehicles, the compact sports crossover. It combines the agility of a compact sports car with the security and toughness of an SUV. JUKE has attracted a wide range of customers with its high environmental performance that complies with the tax exemption for environmentally friendly vehicles, as well as for its affordable price range.

The most popular exterior color so far has been Radiant Red, which accounts for 29% of the total orders, while the most-chosen interior color is red, consisting of over 59%.
