Default (Another) Report: Nissan bringing over Cube in 2008

I would like to see them bring it over. They have an extended version that, seats 8. I can't imagine that much wieght in a little car like that though.

The Nissan Cube is one of the poster children for the term "econobox." Square and thrifty, the teensy MPV can be outfitted to carry five or seven passengers (the latter is known as the Cubeł in Japan) in quirky style and relative comfort. Over the last couple of years, there has been no shortage of reports claiming that the Cube will head stateside in 2008 following its scheduled redesign. The latest outlet to report this is the Nikkei, which said the Cube is all but certain to arrive (along with two other unnamed subcompacts). Unfortunately, that's all the detail given. We just hope the next Cube is as quirky-cool as the current one, with its asymmetrical styling and the variety of front end treatments applied to the different versions on the Japanese market. Enough already with the detail-free media reports. Get on with the redesign, show it to us, and tell us when we can finally buy it. Oh, and while you're at it -- keep it on the inexpensive side, okay?

Someone posted this a few days back. One has to wonder what the redesign is. I joked that it would have a 2.3L engine and be larger and less square. (ala xB2)

well I guess a more powerfull engine was in the works, but if they break away from the box design they would be shooting themselves in the foot. It would be a perfect replacment for the old xb as it is now.
