All:

This was first reported about the time of the Scion release a few years back, so take with grain of salt-

(Another) Report: Nissan bringing over Cube in 2008 - Autoblog

Cheers-

 

looks like it might be popular with the elders LoL

 

its different but better than the older scion xb(bb) yet still ugly...but would still drive one...if that makes sense:confused:

 

i totally hear ya on that.must be one of those things...

 

Indeed it would. My father just had to purchase a Toyota van (or a Chrysler, BLECH) with wheelchair conversion for my mother. VERY expensive, over $50K. High amount just to give someone mobility?

If Nissan were to bring just this version, I imagine it would be a good seller on price, size, and economy for those that need such vehicles.

 

The picture above is for a special "accessible" edition of the Cube and is not a standard issue one. I mean, the accessible edition is on the catalog, but that's not the way the standard Cubes are.

 

that looks like the Element and Scion xB had a baby..

Gross :rolleyes:

 

Right, there are several versions, including two accessable types, both rear and side entry.

The problem comes is in the US you are stuck with a large van for such a vehicle. A friend in Holland, they have much smaller vans and trucks for such needs.

 

An excellent point! In fact, over in Japan pratically all non-kei models of the Japanese makes are available in one version of the accessibility edition or the other. Toyota even sells a model called the Raum, which is not a wheelchair-accessible car but is designed to be more accessible to people with moderate physical challenges. And these cars are usually no larger than 1.8 L, and most are 1.5 L or less. They do the job wonderfully. The Japanese are doing fine without vans with V8.
