Good point. Looking at the front, that’s the steering wheel over on the wrong side of the vehicle.

WTF is up with all the boxes for cars? I know they're good on space, but goddamn they look stupid. Pretty soon they'll roll out a cube on wheels and that's it. Just a ****ing cube with a window and wheels.

My wife and I saw one of these this past weekend in a parking lot. My wife commented on how much it reminded her of the car Supernanny tools around in.

my gf got one of these last year and its awesome. im 6'3 and fit so comfortably in this car. it handles well in the snow. doesnt feel like a cheap commuter like other cars in its class/ price range. the spoiler and body kit from the factory make it much more appealing.

Uglier than a Master P sneaker.

I dont think that car is that bad. Nothing like the Pontiac Aztek. Someone actually owns a Hot pink Aztek around here. I dont get the whole "box-car" trend either. It's gotta be a jap thing.

I rode around in a scion Xb once. I didn't like it. it felt like it had no suspension. But, that's just me. I know a friend who just bought one and he thinks it's cool....so...shrug.

Whenever I see cube-shaped vehicles now, I fully expect to see an over-sized hamster behind the wheel.

I'm often disappointed.

It's not for me but I think it's pretty cool looking.

So many cars these days look so similar that it's difficult to tell many of them apart upon first glance.

I'm a big guy - 6'5" and 255lbs, so there are very few cars I actually fit in well enough to be comfortable driving. The interior of the cube is HUGE!!!! Unlike many trucks and SUVs that seem to be made for tiny women to get behind the wheel.

I'm not a car guy, and could honestly give a shit what my car looks like. To me it's a tool to get myself and my family around. So these were the qualities I was looking for:

1) Cheap
2) great mpg - currently getting ~32mpg city driving
3) I fit in it.
4) I can get my whole family in and my boys will be able to fit in the back as they get older (youngest is projected to be > 6' 8" ).
5) Reliable - too soon to tell but since it's Nissan it should be pretty good.
6) Safe - good crash test reports
7) Bonus - can get my mountain bike somewhere without having to take off both wheels.

The cube fit these requirements to a tee. I do have to take off my front wheel on my bike, but that's no biggee. The look has grown on me, and I must say I used to get lots of double takes and the car is huge hit with people under 30.

That's all good, but do you look cool driving around in it?

I'm waiting for them to introduce the Nissan Tetrahedron. Nothing's cooler than driving in four directions simultaneously.

Saw this one the other day. Why doesn't Mercedes import this bad boy.

Looks like it has a window for drivebys built in..

Scion must be pissed everyone is getting in their market..

I don't like the boxiness of this and the scion. But, I like the customizable options they offer.

I kind of like the honda elements but I wouldn't buy a foreign car.

It's probably bigger inside than it looks because it's a tesseract...
