View Full Version : Saw a Cube on the road yesterday...
NYCxB 07-03-2009, 08:47 PM Hmmm, looked like a washing machine on wheels. It was white.
Not sure what I would get to replace the original xB, but it doesn't look like a cube will fit the bill.... accckkkk...
stillettoDSM 07-03-2009, 08:54 PM A Friend of mine has a Black one, she couldn't get Finances for an xB, so went with Nissan. I don't like it, but hey, as long as she does..
Sciond 07-03-2009, 11:14 PM i like them
cherry-8 07-04-2009, 03:33 AM Saw one parked in downtown D.C. the other week. Pretty nice looking urban car.
Cheers,
MD
MadMike550 07-04-2009, 02:30 PM I dont mind the look either..a friend of mine went and test drove one..he said he would never buy one..not enough power
megaxjess 07-05-2009, 05:06 PM First.. Soul from Kia, now Cube? Hmm interesting
sabiansdrum 07-05-2009, 05:53 PM the only thing I like from it is the 6sp...now if only our boxes came with one.
jackie254 07-05-2009, 06:02 PM Before I bought my xb, I went and looked at the Soul first, then the Cube and finally Scion. The cube I looked at was the fully loaded Krom. It was cute, but it kind of reminded me of something that maybe Dr. Seuss would drive? Anyway, entirely too small and cartoonish.
midtowndesi 07-06-2009, 03:59 PM the windshield on the cube looks like it's 8 feet high. i saw a cube coming at me from the other direction and it looked like it had a monsterous forehead!
HATEnFATE 07-06-2009, 04:08 PM two very close deisngs, Just look at the window frames.

jackie254 07-06-2009, 04:13 PM LOL. How funny. Never seen that one before. Green eggs and ham to go with that?
RedneckwithanxB 07-06-2009, 04:25 PM That says a lot coming from a Nissan guy Jay
jackie254 07-06-2009, 04:29 PM Are you saying I'm a Nissan guy?
RedneckwithanxB 07-06-2009, 04:31 PM No, Jason "hatenfate" is...
I quoted the wrong post...
please dont hurt me
jackie254 07-06-2009, 04:34 PM Oh, okay. Never mind then. That explains it.
RedneckwithanxB 07-06-2009, 04:35 PM I had an extra bowl of Fail for breakfast this monday morning
XD40tC 07-06-2009, 04:37 PM Saw one with wheels and a drop in some mag... Looked hot! Id buy one w/ the 6 speed and boost that thang! lolz
goldenvybz 07-06-2009, 05:03 PM i love Nissan but wat in gods name where they thinking?
HATEnFATE 07-06-2009, 05:09 PM Just because I like Classic SE-R's doesnt' mean I'm a fan of a Design fail. Nothing says "CUBE" like round windows and an ENTIRE enterior that is based off of something round. Cube=Design EPIC FAIL. Maybe they should have called it the "Sphere." Then it would meet my expectaions.
Metro273 07-07-2009, 12:01 AM Nissan Cube FTW!!!!!!
Sciond 07-07-2009, 01:24 AM Nissan Cube FTW!!!!!!

RedneckwithanxB 07-07-2009, 01:52 AM in looks no... in gadgetry yes
Sciond 07-07-2009, 02:32 AM I am all about gadgets
RedneckwithanxB 07-07-2009, 03:27 AM Nissan def got the gadget sector...
I dunno though... Im still thinking a mid 80's K5 made for what I want...
Sciond 07-07-2009, 04:30 AM lay frame lol
Big_Bird 07-07-2009, 04:52 AM I like them, but I would never get rid of my B for one.
RedneckwithanxB 07-07-2009, 05:41 AM lay frame lol
Negative... Im thinking a nice subtle 3 inch lift and a nice set of all terrains...
HATEnFATE 07-07-2009, 01:03 PM ^^^^
I"m thinkin you a lame-a_s for thinkin about a vehicle with more fail designed into it then the failbox...
You've already got a self designed failbox. You don't need Nissan to design one for you.
P.S. speaking of Nissans, The SE-R's engine is completely locked up. I was draggin tire last night with the truck when she was in gear.

Damn... But I might need a block from you when I get my own place... can you say coffee table?
SentraSE-R 07-11-2009, 05:04 AM I parked next to a Cube last night. Here are some photos. I was impressed with their size similarities Overall length, height, and width are very close.

By looking at it beside the box, the 'cube' looks extremely round and goofy.
smkoog 07-11-2009, 11:05 AM looks like the cube came off a 3D cartoon show or sumthing
Metro273 07-11-2009, 03:13 PM You guys need to check out the Cube with the "ginormous package" installed... :love:
sabiansdrum 07-11-2009, 05:27 PM Well done on the comparison pix! but I agree with some that it looks really goofy next to the box. I wouldn't replace my box with one I do know that, even before the side-by-side.
But the gadgets.. yes! i'll take those..
SentraSE-R 07-12-2009, 01:27 AM The Cube comes closer to the 1G xB than the 2G xB does. I like the 6 speed MTs in the Cube and the Kia Soul. If I ever have to replace my xB, I'll consider both the Nissan and Kia, but not the 2G xB.
The Kia with the 1.6 would work for me. The Cube probably won't, as its rear seats slide and don't fold. Plus I'm pretty sure the floor behind the rear seats isn't flat.
burstaneurysm 07-12-2009, 03:00 AM I gotta go test drive one. The price point is still a bit too high for it to have fallen under the 'perfect' category, but it's definitely worth looking at.
Metro273 07-13-2009, 01:43 AM The Cube probably won't, as its rear seats slide and don't fold. Plus I'm pretty sure the floor behind the rear seats isn't flat.The rear seats in the Cube do fold down but NOT flat, like our xBs do. When they are folded down, there is about 6 inch height difference from the rear cargo area.
Big_Bird 07-13-2009, 02:10 AM Our back seat doesn't fold totally flat either, but they are not as much of a difference as the Cube's.
Metro273 07-13-2009, 02:38 AM ^^^There is a huge difference in our xBs and the Cube's rear seats in the down position...trust me!
Big_Bird 07-13-2009, 02:51 AM I worded that way wrong, lol. I meant our's was not as bad as the Cube's. I dunno wtf I was saying before. excuse my retardom.
Murphys_Law 07-13-2009, 03:02 AM they are ugly IMO
sciontC 07-13-2009, 03:05 AM looks were obviously not their primary focus in designing this thing....
::throws up::
Big_Bird 07-13-2009, 03:21 AM You dudes drive tC's, you're not anywhere near the target audience.
Murphys_Law 07-13-2009, 03:24 AM yeah ive got a tC but i love the looks of the xB and xB2, the cube for some reason just dosent do it for me
snowromance 07-13-2009, 04:13 AM a local guy bought one and posted these pics on a different forum.
