I'm going to disagree. The 1.2L turbo engine that is going to be offered with the 2015 Juke makes a decent amount of torque (140 lb-ft) with MPG is in the upper 40s. It doesn't sound like much, but reviews are positive with the Juke. I can only imagine how much more nimble and fun to drive the IDX would be if this engine was offered up as a base with hopefully a similar base price point of under $20k. I'm sure 1.6L turbo option with about 200 hp is a definite plus if they want to call it a NISMO (like the Juke).
