Who totally wants one of those Nissan Cubes?

I do!! Mostly to make my snooty friends gag, but also for some reason, I'm really digging this body style:

You forgot the option "A Nissian What?"

*looks at picture*

What the Harold is that thing?? Looks very Retro-Futuristic, like what the cars of now should have looked like, however looking at that i can see why they don't..

To be honest i think its ugly.. but you never know, it might take off.

They are mega cute. I have a 2005 Scion xB so the Nissan Cube is just the next step... It's a very good design despite it being aesthetically polarizing. I have yet to sit in one or test drive one, but I hope to. I bet with the back seats folded down it can hold a lot of gear. And parallel parking must be easy being that it can fit in spaces most other cars can't.

That would only work in countries where you drive on the correct side of the road? If you were to drive on the right there would be a ma-hoo-sive blind spot with that huge pillar. Reminds me of the Mini Clubman, which was designed the other way round. So the single rear door, which is on the right of the car, opens onto the road-side in countries where we drive on the correct side. Affectively negating the point in having that rear door.

How big are we talking with the cube? Could it fit a double bass and rig comfortably inside?

No

Looks too much like a refridgerator.

I dont like the round shag carpet on the dash either.

I like the Nissan Figgero better

Of the various "Toaster" vehicles, I think the Cube is the coolest. That said, I ain't buying one. Unless it's got at least 8 cylinders, 4WD and can tow a boat, it's not much use to the FL Knifemaker

If we're going to drive a cube, shouldn't we have planetary destruction capabilities??



We aren't sure what kind of mileage this thing get's but no one cuts us off either!

Why did they change their name from Datson anyway?

This was the prototype.
