Nissan following Toyota's example? Cube coming to the US! - Toyota Yaris Forums

That is a cool lookin' car. I kinda like it more than the xB. How much $$$?

It is a Nissan though, ugh!

I wish Toyota had kept the xB true to its fans, and kept it small and gave it more MPGs. What the hell were they thinking?

They were listening to the masses. I can't tell you how many people would tell me (knowing that I owned an xB) about that "new xB" and how much they liked it because it was bigger and not so boxy. I bought my xB because it was small and square. If wanted something larger I would've bought an Element or Matrix.

However, I can't fault a car company for listening to its public. However, I still don't like the new xB and would much rather have seen the new bB (Daihatsu Materia) come over.

Sometime the masses don't know what they want. The small xB started a craze for small boxy cars. Now they backtracked and went bigger and less boxy. Seems like a step back to me. This little Cube seems a lot more appealing to me than the new xB.

What doe's the Cube cost? I really like it and would consider it over my Yaris if the size (cargo and passenger) and MPG's are favorable.

There still hasn't been any official word this is going to happen. They've actually been saying the Cube is coming over since about 2004.
