Oh good idea. Make it the most unappealing shape you can and then name it “Cube” so I can’t forget how unappealing it is. Why not make it cigar shape, paint it brown and call it “Turd”?

James – you clearly have a wheel fetish. Ha Ha

I’m an oldie (45) but reckon this is is up there on the cool board. Pity Nissan for not bringing these to the UK. I have seen an older imported one running about locally.

To the ugly sayers. If car designers around the world were to design car for Australain taste, they would be in the same position as Ford,GM and Chrysler right now!

I do not deny the brilliant levels of usability that this car offers in the inner city.
However this car is SsangYong ugly and dare I say it even uglier. Just because the Japanese think its funky and cool does not mean it is! A few design quirks will not save this little Monkey bum.
The Nissan Micra is also a brilliant little car, but I have a little upchuck in my mouth every time I see one and this car is the same.
I know this is only my opinion but to me nothing in this car design gels well together, especially the roof ripples. It looks like a train wreck of random design quirks thrown together one night when the Saki was in plentiful supply.
Oh and I’m 26 by the way!

I’ve seen a heap of these cars on the streets of Tokyo. It’s not pretty but I commend them for being bold.

Hey WVB, Next time I feel the urge to drive into a shipping container I’ll make sure I do it in a Nissan Cube. Can’t think of a better place to hide such an ugly set of wheels.

The japanese just love this concept.
I like the way its designed to fit into things like a shipping container as much as shipping container shape things will fit in it.

its adorable! I want one! With a 1.5 4 banger and a CVT tranny (which i THINK, not 100% sure is available on overseas spec Micra/March’s) would go like a dream. Better than a Yaris and more interesting than a Mazda2.
