They just launched their consumer line-up here (after years of selling nothing but vans, trucks and that awful CitiPony). Almost all crossovers and vans.

T40 is the S2 here. The one in the picture is the S1.

Reviewed the S2 a while back, even got some video out of it. Amazingly loaded vehicle for the price, and the build quality is thoroughly modern.

This S1, not so. Amazing that they managed to fit leatherette trim, TPMS and other amenities into something so cheap... but it's still cheap. You can tell where they cut costs. Then again, it costs as much as a stripper Mirage... so you can forgive a few gaffes.

I take that as a sign, hopefully, that the next-generation Juke won't be so damn heavy.
