I wonder if this thing will ever make it to the US, now that our 1st Gen is no longer.

US-bound in 2008.

I like that car. I should see if there is info on how much they'll be.

 

Well that answers my question. I figured they would once we changed our look. I saw the Japan version when I was in Tokyo, its a cool shape, but that was it. The interior was cheesy to me. We'll have to see how the US version turns out . . .

 

smells like xB ripoff... would have to see it in person...

 

i like it myself, much more than the new xb or any of the other imposters.

1 thing that would keep me from getting it, it's a 4 cylinder nissan motor, and I don't know what they're putting in there.

Hopefully the I4motor and 6spd tranny from the Versa and it would be a miracle in 2-3 years if those motors are proving near toyota/honda reliable.

 

1st generation Nissan Cube released 1998
1st generation Toyota bB released 2000
bB/xB = cube ripoff

 

I have been waiting for the Cube since I saw the xb2 redesign. I want a cube so bad. Would look great next to my box now!

 

Except, not cool looking! That thing is fugly! It's like a Samuri/xB love child.

 

it isn't us bound. there's the crappy versa here.......

 

yes it is coming here, but whether it's this current gen or next, we get the nissan cube. http://www.autoblog.com/2007/05/24/a...-cube-in-2008/

 

btw, i want one with the wheel chair gate in the back, so I can drive out the back a honda scooter and be a Captain Japan(as apposed to Captain America)

 

hmmm. i've heard no about two years ago , then yes about a year ago then a no about 8 months ago. they can't seem to make up their mind.

 

then yes as of 5 days ago

 

I'd like to see it here....with an SE-R option

 

Interesting read on Cube marketing:

while i guess the cube is a little more fem looking, half the xBs i see on the road have 30+ year old women driving it.

maybe i'm wrong?

 

^^^ good article find

 

It's coming.............will we buy them? Maybe if they don't screw it up.
