2. Other news from Nissan: Saikawa resigns

On the more international side of things and a bit contrasting to the good news above, Nissan CEO Hiroto Saikawa, if you remember was hard at work to investigate former Chairman Carlos Ghosn’s activities, in a twist of great irony is himself now accused of receiving excess pay. Compounding that fact is the slow progress on his investigation on Ghosn.

Saikawa resigned after it was found out he was improperly overpaid

Effective September 16, Saikawa has been set to resign after being asked to do so by the board of directors after a lengthy discussion. Saikawa accepted and his post will be temporarily filled in by Chief Operating Officer Yasuhiro Yamauchi. The official replacement for Saikawa will be announced by Nissan around October.

3. More news: People are liking the Nissan Juke 2020

On a more positive note, the news of all-new Nissan Juke with 2020 version was received fairly well by netizens all over the world and praised for leaving behind its really weird and divisive former design.

For the all-new 2^nd generation 2020 Juke, it has become sportier and gone are the strange set of bulbous looking set of lights that jutted out from the body and the front fascia’s overall design which quite frankly, made the old Juke look like a frog.

Being different from the previous Nissan Juke, the entire front end of 2020 version has re-designed dramatically and now has a V-motion type grille that really looks good on the much more streamlined front fascia.

It also appears that the new Juke has grown in size and its overall silhouette looks really rakish, sleek and not awkward at all! And yes, the boot space has grown tremendously too!

Under the hood is a turbocharged 1.0-liter three-cylinder that can make up to 115 horsepower. In other markets, there are two transmission choices; a six-speed manual and a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic. And yes…the CVT has been ditched.

We think it looks vastly better than the old one. A very welcome change indeed!
