I can't wait! I agree with Autoblog that Nissan will probably keep some of the citycar feel without "americanizing" it too much.

Give it the Versa SL's package and price but keep the JDM Cube's looks and dimensions and this car would be a huge hit.

nissan has gone back and forth about the cube coming to the us or not about 4 times now so it could definately change again



and why add it to the lineup? to officially kill the hideous versa and put it out of it's misery?

Simply for the fact that Scion dropped the ball releasing the xB2 and ____ing off all us devoted Gen1 owners. Nissan knows this, and is doing the appropriate thing.

Wait, nissan is releasing a car that doesn't look like a 350Z. If so that's a good thing.

^^lol but this car looks nasty..dont mean to bring ya down, its just that i dont see what all the hype is about. The back looks alright but the front looks plain ugly. I feel like they tried to rip off the xb but failed. Hmm maybe the look will eventually grow on me the more i look at it but eh just looks ugly.

Oh Come on Infinite, People (including you?) said the same thing about the xb 5 years ago or so when it first came out. Now it's a top seller, and people are waiting on lists to buy them sometimes.

Wow, that advertisement is a blatant ripoff of the older VW Beetle adverts.

first of all i like the xB..second i have always wanted one since I saw it for the first time at the auto show, mind you that I became fond of it even before Scions were released to the public. The Cube in my honest opinion looks like garbage besides for the booty..also the seats look cheap as heck. The interior also seems so cramped and will probably even make the smallest person feel claustrophobic. I am entitled to my own opinion and I am not hating.

It's strange, to be 100% honest I hated the elements when they first came out, now i finally like one and would not mind owning an SC. To be honest, if I do upgrade i'll probably just get an 09 xb, but things grow on ya. Who knows, you may like it, I heard the cube is pretty dang roomy inside, but who knows... :-)
