This would be the vehicle that got me back into a Nissan if I were to do so:

I kinda like it it's like a XB mixed with an Element.

One thing I never understood about the Cube is why they kept the right rear pillar? Why not do away with both rear pillars? That would give it a great look and visibility would be increased.

i think the Nissan Cube is a huge copy cat of the Scion xB. But im not hating on it, since i was a huge fan of the 1st gen xB when it came out, hence why i didnt get one since i had to wait like 3 months for it, and i didnt want to wait.

Anyway, ill post some more pictures tomorrow, ill be at the LA auto show :).

Probably for cabin safety

I believe the Cube has been around longer than Scion itself. The Xb is a copy of the Cube if anything.

I wish they had kept the grill closer to the first JDM unit. Long overdue here in the States.

Looks like a Russian version of the xB!

The Cube name debuted in 1998. The Toyota bB debuted in 2000.

*MAD DOG* · 11-27-2008, 03:20 AM

I don't like it's ass. Looks weird. xB is a much nicer looking car.

kustom play · 11-27-2008, 10:42 AM

I am thinking about trading in the yaris for one in the spring

i use to have an XB, then the whole scion scene got super ricy and when i would tell people i had a scion i would get that "ohh one of those ricers" looks

worst part was for a long time it was like "ohh cool that boxy thing?"

since they flopped harcore on the new XB i dont think i'll ever get a scion again

the cube reminds me of what the new XB should of been

i like it but i still have to see it in person and fell around

i cant count how many times cars look so awesome and then you go see it in person and your like wtf is this?
