Seems reasonable. I'll take two.

These Jukes aren't being made for the "normal" market. After the first Juke-R prototype was made, there was talk of some very rich people in the middle east asking to purchase it. Nissan saw the opportunity to make some big bucks and took it.

IMO, they will make the Juke-R for prospective high-dollar buyers until the market is fulfilled. Nothing wrong with that.

juke r is ridiculous. thats what i really want, a $500,000 car disguised as a juke. so when someone comes up and goes, "nice juke." i have to say "OMFG THIS IS A JUKE R I PAID HALF A MILLION FOR THIS. AHHHHH!!"

then they are all

then are like "... what you're serious...

"

then u go, "ya but look at all these sweet youtube vids of it beating up on supercars!"

ghey

if i have to justify spending half a million bucks, then thats ridiclous

The people who can afford to buy this don't typically worry about "justifying" anything they buy to anybody.

I think the price is resonable if you consider this is not a production car. This was a one-off project and I am sure this car will appreciate in value years down the line. This car is capable of out handling 500 k sports cars so performance wise, its right on the ball park but you have the added bonus of EXCLUSIVITY!!! Exclusivity is everything! Lamborghini created a one-off Aventador prototype which sold for over 2.75MM MUCH MUCH highter than the sticker price on the production model... however, you have EXCLUSIVITY which guarantees there will be no other car like yours. So yes, i think the price is resonable perhaps a bargain if you really think about it. LOL

Why are you guys getting your panties in a bunch over this? It's a badass car no matter the price tag. If you can afford this car, you don't have to justify anything. Period! That's like asking why someone buys a a million dollar watch...it's pointless & absurd, but intriguing.

No, it really isn't. That's why people are "up in arms", they are charging 500k for something that isn't nearly bad *** enough.

Are you nuts? Who cares about the price tag...$600,000, $100,000....that's not the point of this car. It has the insanely high price tag because it's not a mass produced car. If the GT-R was limited to less than 20 in the overall production, you'd see the price tag reflect that too. The amount of R & D and actual work involved is staggering. To honestly be a car enthusiast and not appreciate that this exist is kind of sad. It's a niche product and not meant to dominate every supercar on the planet. It's an experiment into the "what if"...and the Nissan chose to produce a very limited amount because there was an interest. There's no need to whine about it because it cost to much. It's just a matter of perspective. Check out the Gooding & Company or the RM Auctions and you'll see what I mean. A GT-R might be expensive or fairly priced to you, but bargin basement to a multi-billionaire. I've driven a Gallardo, which is an amazing machine, and it hardly "feels" the price tag when you're actually sitting inside one. My point is, you gotta take projects like this with a grain of salt and a sense of humor.

Lame

I guess some people just don't get super excited over fast jukes and minivans and stuff. The X5 M is another example.
