What Kind Of A Car Is This?

What kind of a car has a name "CUBE" ? WTF? CUBE?? I have never seen a car like that, and I never wanna see it... I couldn't imagine a cube on wheels driving down the road.

The Cube is a Japanese Domestic Market model that's never been sold in North America. Every Japanese manufacturer has some version of small boxy people-mover vehicle that is well suited to the narrow streets of Japan. They would look totally out of place anywhere else...

You don't have to read Japanese to see the pics...

Hehehe... This is the "Rider" model:

i think it looks gud in a weird kind of way, if the front end was reduced and it looked more like a cube and not a cube with a little excess blob on the side, id buy one

hey, it's prolly faster than a scion

Re: What Kind Of A Car Is This?

that's a smallass exhaust tho for a car like that. seriously, i don't know what the japanese are thinking now. Is that style is supposed to be "cute"? Like a Japanese version of the VW Beetle? Unless the cube is some sorta magical symbolic shape for them, the cube/boxy trend has to go.

Very original design Good to see that there will be another vehicle out there that looks like a washing machine with wheels.

Re: What Kind Of A Car Is This?

A lot of people mistakenly think it's a knockoff of the Scion xB...

But the Cube is coming into its 3rd generation as it arrives in the US market.

There's already quite a bit of buzz about it at the Nissan Cube forum, and the staff are scheduled for a pre-production test drive in early September!
