    And Nissan must know something we don't because the juke which has the same frame but double the tq/hp has a brace going to the strut. So does the Altima. But micra has no brace on the top end.

    All 2004-2008 model Pontiac Grand Prix's are built on the same revised W platform, but I guarantee you that the ones with more powerful engines came with heavier motor rails. You wouldn't notice it if you had the car up on a lift; visually, they look nearly identical. However, the heavier motor rail is made of thicker metal. I'd be surprised if the Juke's motor rails were exactly the same strength as the Micra's.



    In our culture obsessed with absurd excess, the Nissan Micra is my counterculture car of choice.
