You know, first of all, I have to say, I like the car. That is not quite a compliment, however.

You see, the thing is, I liked this car the first time I saw it. In many different variations.

Yep. I am totally calling copycat on Nissan. I am not going to go tattling or anything (to anyone but you, of course, oh so faithful readers), but I am calling copycat.

Why? Well, let’s take a really close look at the Micra, shall we?

I know there is nothing new under the sun. I know most cars are carbon copies of one another.

But good grief! I see old school Neon.  I see Mini Cooper.  I see VW Bug.  This car is like some mutant, made up of the discarded parts of other, more successful cars.

That being sake, however, I think the new Nissan Juke looks awesome. It is a compact little crossover that was revealed just last year at the motor show in Geneva. It was originally previewed by a concept, the Qazana. This is the production version, and something about it is just super cool.

All of the good things about the concept version have made it into production, and a lot of improvements have been made as well. The result as what you see here, something edgy and innovative and really appealing.

To note, General Motors had the biggest decline among the giant car companies with 53.1 percent, Ford Motor with 49.5 percent decline and Chrysler who slide down 44.0 percent. Toyota sales also sank with 39.8 percent, while Honda and Nissan with 37 percent.

A sad but true fact, US monthly sales still failed to rise, since October 2007, along with the 15-month global economic recession. For three consecutive months, the year-over-year decline was 0.7 percent. As for the month of February, consumer’ confidence decreased due to the impact of the economic recession.

Despite car manufacturers’ efforts to boost their car sales by incentive spending by 15.9 percent, still, the industry suffers decline in sales. Last February, Ford was traumatized with the collapse of its bestseller vehicle, the F-series pick-up, with only 23,614 trucks purchased, a dramatic decrease of 55.1 percent from a year earlier.

General Motors and Chrysler companies are surviving with the $17.4 billion federal loans. They have forwarded their viability plans to the US Treasury Department last month and have made their request for additional funding. A committee of appointees by the President has deliberations on whether General Motors and Chrysler will still be given additional funding or will have to call their initial loans on due.

Meanwhile, Ford had announced that they survived without the help of the government because of enough liquidity.
