2009 Nissan Cube

[PaulMedley]

Hey what's up? I'm Paul and I work for MWKS - we're currently partnered with Nissan to spread the word about the North American debut of the Nissan Cube. We're providing people with the opportunity to see the car before it hits dealerships in 2009 through these first-look photos. I've included the brand new pics below, and feel free to use or share them however you'd like. I tried contacting some mods here to make sure it's alright to share this material with you guys, but never heard back, so hope it's cool with you guys.

We're excited about the arrival of this new fuel-efficient compact car. You can see more official pictures and a teaser vid at Nissan Cube | Facebook or visit NissanUSA.com/cube if you're into it.

So what are your first-impression thoughts of the car?

I think this car is so weird, but I like it. I wouldn't buy it, but I know there is a market for this and its gonna be cool seeing one of these things on the street.

And I thought the xB was bad...

I wouldn't trade my Fit in for it, but it's cool to have more tiny cars on the roads. Hopefully the Yukon and Suburban people will come to their senses and get something less intimidating when they are constantly stuck behind slow cars that get 5x better mileage.

i like this 10x better than xB

[Kazs]

looks like a smaller 09 xb or element.
I thought the xb was weird but it grew on me, i'm sure the cube will too.
I'm all for small cars with xcellent mpg.
Wow, 6sp manual.. nice

The back end doesn't do it for me as much as the prior gen's did, and the deal-breaker is the stupid CVT. Hate CVT's w/ a passion. Too bad b/c we'll need a new family truckster come this spring and this would've been nice, but the wife won't do MT, and w/ CVT I won't touch it. Still, will probably test drive one anyway for fun.

Not to fond of the rear door.... looks really un-balanced..

[kindofblue]

Was a really big fan of the first gen, this doesn't have the same immediate appeal (rear bumper).

Wondering if the e-4wd will come to the USA too?

looks like gumby's car...

Ditto! This thing is hideous! Looks like somebody on Nissan's design team used to work for Fischer Price or Playskool. lol

+1 Rep for you

I really like the look of the new Nissan Cube. I'm really looking forward to seeing it in person? Has anyone on here driven one yet?

I think its cool better than the xb and kia soul thats for sure, as usual the Jdm models or the previous gen cube looks way better. Of course we didnt get offered that one. Its a really well built LiL car. If I was buying I new car right now and there was no such thing as a honda fit I would buy it. I like the element better but its a LiL expensive. 6sp tranny would be cool to have once its been turboed.

[daragez]

looks cool!....

[Dalma]

The funny thing is that I never liked the Element and did test drive the Fit several times. The Element in my mind was a near miss but the the wierd color on the body panels didnt work for me. I loved the Fit but don't like the new 2009's as much as it's a bit too long now in my opinion. The Cube looks very distinct and I like a car that stands out.

[fit_love]

i want one of these so bad :/

Depending on your region I'm told they should start arriving at the dealerships next weekend.
