Stophovr6 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 That car will probably do pretty well in Japan. I'd rock it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deejaydana Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 It looks like it should have a giant wind-up key on the back. ...but it still will sell more I bet than anything Chrysler, er our gov't, can force upon us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stophovr6 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 http://www.nissanusa.com/cube/# The US version doesn't look quite as funky. It's asymmetrical. Odd little car. The one pictured in the OP is electric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking Skins Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 This looks like an uglier version of the PT Cruiser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooked Crack Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Maybe it will look better from behind. Nope. I'm sure there's a market for this. I just don't understnd where that market is. If you gave me a choice between the Cube and the Kia Soul, I'd easily pick the Soul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffSchmeff Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 It will appeal to younger kids and people on a tight budget. I don't necessarily like it, but I like how the auto industry is moving car interiors and the technology inside forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take that bet. And I'd win. PT cruiser sold a lot. Jeep Wrangler Sells even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Tater Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Plan is to market these to the young and then in 20 or so years develop a more expensive model for the nostalgic 40 somethings. Wait, didn't VW do something similar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedlightG20 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I wouldn't buy one but I think its pretty neat. Much different than most things on the road today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usapatriot Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 You could not pay me enough to just get in that thing. I hated the Scion XB but the XB looks like a sports car compared to that. What was Nissan thinking when they build that thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan T. Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Serious question. Doesn't aerodynamics come into play in car design when maximizing fuel efficiency? Wouldn't the boxiness of these cars hurt MPG? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
