oh, they redid it then.... I never looked at it closely enough - I always thought it was the same from the air vents down just with the upper part/screen area replaced.  The door cards are the same, though.  

It could, but I just don't know if it works here. 

I saw this and almost posted it, but it's not coming here so I didn't.   It's ugly and like you said looks like a crumpled piece of paper.

could be emulating these

With the lines literally having no cohesion and just going all over the place, it feels like the design team was working late last night like    "Man, I really don't know what styling direction we should take the next juke in"   Crumples up a sketch into a ball of paper.    "Holy shit that's beautiful, I've done it again". 

Similar to Honda's cancelled Prologue: on the right:

It's like Nissan realized that the second gen was off-brand, and the third gen needed to go back to being ugly to align with what Juke buyers wanted. 

It's not horrible (at least from this profile shot), but it's nothing special or "I gotta have that" either.   As pointed out, the silhouette and lower rocker panel area matches the one spy shot we have.

Not just that, but a company owned by very rich big shots in Abu Dhabi. Curic is almost certainly gettin' a big raise after leaving Ford! 

Lol don't keep that stuff from us!  We were long curious about it!
