Aftermarket Juke

Japanese Nissan tuner Impul had tried it's hand at the Juke, and in the process actually made it look worse... A silver ground effects kit clashes with the black along the lower body of the Juke, negating the effect it had of visually reducing the height of the body. Up front to spoiler only exaggerates the odd stock 3 hole air intakes, which look as if they were made for launching torpedoes. The look is topped off with a gigantic rally-type spoiler that a WRX would envy, and - of all things - window visors (which need their own dedicated autofug posting).

2010 Fuglies

Here they are – the first annual Fuglies: a recap of the last year of who gained the most traffic on my blog. “Congratulations” to the losers winners.



Gold Nissan Juke


The gold winner this year is the Nissan Juke, which blew away all other contenders. Nissan Juke pageviews accounted for a whopping 7.2% of the total pageviews for the site, and it also garnered the most traffic via internet searchs, with related keywords accounting for 18.7% of incoming traffic. Easily one of the most controversial new car releases of the year, apparently the little “SUV” actually drives quite nice. A shame that it’s wrapped in metal not everyone can enjoy.


Silver Mohs Ostentatienne Opera Sedan


The Mohs Opera Sedan (I give up trying to type Ostentatienne any more) deservedly gains the second place spot, with 3.2% of all pageviews for the year. I was a bit surprised by this as it’s a relatively obscure car, but it’s been made more well known recently when some high school students restored one in an auto body class in 2009.


Bronze Mitsuoka Galue


Trailing the Opera Sedan slightly with 3.1% of total pageviews, the Mitsuoka Galue takes bronze. Mitsuoka is gaining popularity on the internet due to it’s bizarre creations, so this one was no surprise. Also worth noting is that it received the second most hits via the internet search, with related keywords accounting for 10.6% of traffic.
