Default cube vs xB

Nissan announced the Cuvbe will be produced worldwide, but is unclear if it will come to the US to compete with the xB. Do you think it has a chance to sway some??

it's funky and different, but lacks the cool factor of the original xB. Most people will hate it.

Agreed.

The only market they might have, relative to Scion, is people that didn't buy a new box when they had the chance and can't bring themselves to buy a pre-owned one.

A definite possibility for those who do no want the xB2 for one reason or another. Please--xB owners calling another car funky--LOL

the xB is funky too, that's one of the cool things about it. But it also has kind of a tough appearance with the big bumpers. The cube just looks cartoony or something, definitely not tough.

It's a cheap imitation. xB owners are originals, not knock-offs.

It looks like an XB and mini cooper backed up to the edge of a cliff and took a crap. Where this turd landed created this thing. Oh and they where both eating blueberries...

I don't think it will take away from the xB market due to the fact it resembles a Honda Element way more then a xB. It will take away some of Honda's market share on the box styled auto for sure, but not Scion's. IMO

I like the way the rear window wraps around to the back of the car. It could use better styling up front, but I think it's a funky little car. Then again, that's the same thing I thought about the xB before I bought one.
