Pretty much what this guy has said. Japan's sales is pretty high, but with the rest of the world, not so much.chompsticks wrote:I think it would be cool if they offered it too, but I do not think many people would buy the awd cube seeing how they have not sold too many cubes as it is, and plus that would bump the price of the cube even higher. I think I would see the AWD plus turbo would bump the price to around 22 to 23k without options, but by the way Nissan does things, it would have to include all the goodies so it would be closer to 25k
i don't know if i can agree with that,krimsonviper wrote:chompsticks wrote:
Plus, with the general public not really caring about high performance and more reliability and fuel prices being a major issue, turbos are actually shying people away from cars.

These turbos are marketed as "the best of both worlds", with lots of power and torque AND excellent fuel efficiency.
And Nissan has stated that their ENTIRE lineup will be dominated by turbos in the next 5 years, so get ready, the turbo will be the dominant powerplant soon.

Ain't truly a real AWD. Actually e-4WD trim contains an electric rear wheel drive motor to assist the gasoline engine powered front wheels.Flicktitty wrote:OK, NISSAN.
Why don't you make this?
You already have a AWD Cube in Japan (from what i remember reading)
