It was one of those blink-and-you'll-miss-it moments, but the message was clear.
In an advertisment that officially went to air today, Nissan's GT-R, X-Trail, Micra, Murano, LEAF, 370Z and Dualis shared screen time with the Juke, the highly-anticipated compact crossover that's been selling up a storm overseas.
When TMR asked whether that two-second glimpse of the Juke (video below) was a prelude of things to come, a Nissan Australia spokesperson told us that the Juke is all but locked-in for a local debut.
Nissan Australia's product planning team is understood to be in the final stages of approving the Juke for local sales, and an official announcement is expected in a few weeks.
It's not clear what specification will be offered, let alone what pricetag will be attached to the Juke, and launch timing remains a mystery for now.
The Juke is currently sold in Europe, Japan, North America and New Zealand, with production lines in Oppama Japan and Washington, UK.
Built atop the B platform that underpinned the previous-generation Micra, the Juke measures just 4.13 metres long, with a wheelbase of 2.53 metres.
It's comparable in size to the Kia Soul, and its outlandish, funky styling should see the Juke appeal strongly to a younger, trendier demographic.
