I just show the nissan cube photo to my gf while she was cooking.... she took a look at it, and then she picked up a piece of tofu she's gonna prepare for miso soup... and says quietly that she aint going to drive me to work in a tofu car...

Lol its a knock off of the xB.

I dont like knock offs.

The window areas look like its cut from cheese.

Its too round for a cube if that makes sence.

I like my xB...

Its hip to be square.... that is all..

Nissan should bring the March instead of the Cube, to compete with the Fit/Yaris.

i didn't like it at first...but the more i look at it, the more it grows on me. it's one of those cars that will look like a new design even decades down the road.

Is the Avenier motor available? That would be so bad ass. Oh, that's right, they killed production of the entire SRxxDET series, those bastards!

Seriously, this is what we should have here in the states and for a few years now instead of the Versa which is a slap in the face. I love the Cube and this is what Toyota's Xb should still be like. I just can't stand when they glutonize a good thing.

This thing does not suffer from the back seat driver friendly gauge cluster, the one on the center of the dash! This is the biggest reason why I did not get the Yaris/Vitz.

I remember taking all of these vehicles into consideration before choosing my FWD
shitbox. When I took a Fit for a test drive, the handling and steering response had that good old
Honda feel that I love so much. The Fit is still a good value and a damn good car.

It's a neat little car that probably gets great mileage and probably has TONS of room inside. That said, the asymmetry really bugs me.

I'd have to get one with the six speed though. CVTs are pretty much designed to suck any fun out of driving. When I test drove a Versa, however, I wasn't particularly impressed with the six speed box. The throws were long and vague and the clutch was overly grabby. Seeing how this would probably use the same or simliar clutch/gearbox, I wouldn't expect a quick shifting box like in the Fit, for example.

Oh god. I don't like the xB and I don't like this either. Not my style at all, but to each their own. In this case, form far outweighs functionality for me.

Looks like the USDM version is less-cube-like than the JDM. JDM conversion is needed!
