The problem with Nissan is they do not manufacture exciting cars nowadays.
Also, they leave their models in production far too long, meaning whenever they do update a vehicle (such as the Juke in this case) it has to catch up with the rest of the market which have invariably overtaken Nissan in terms of innovation, evolution, technology etc.
Whether the new Juke will be popular or not remains to be seen but set against some of the compact cross overs from the likes of Peugeot, Volkswagen, Mazda, Volvo, Hyundai etc, it has a lot of catching up to do.
