The unveiling of the Nissan Juke-R prototype has been as slow and painstaking as the car’s actual build. First we received initial details, a rendering and video of the project under way. Over the course of the following few weeks, Nissan continued keeping us on our toes with a series of videos showing the project coming together. Now that the vehicle has finally reached completion, the Japanese automaker has released a solitary image of the finished product. Funk Flex

Auto Talk: Nissan debuts new GT3-spec Nismo GT-R
The Nissan GT-R is no stranger to motorsports. Topping off its long history of racing around the world, Godzilla currently competes in Japan’s own Super GT series and in the FIA GT1 World Championship, among others. But while those models are loosely based on and bear a visual resemblance to the road car, they’re both largely purpose-built racers. In fact they’re both powered by V8 engines instead of the turbo six in the supercar you can buy at your local Datsun store. Funk Flex Find Flex On Google+
Auto Talk: Nissan SUV And Pickup Owners Experiencing Transmission Failures
Nissan is facing a rash of complaints about automatic transmission failures in the company’s trucks and SUVs, according to The New York Times. Certain 2005-2010 Frontier, Pathfinder and Xterra models may have an issue with their radiators which could cause coolant to mix with the automatic transmission fluid. That’s not supposed to happen, and it could cause premature failure. Nissan, meanwhile, has extended its warranty coverage on the radiators and any component damaged as a result of the fault, though owners say that they’ve been stuck with expensive transmission repair bills after the extended warranty dries up. The new coverage extends to 80,000 miles. Funkmasterflex Find Flex On Google+
