[mcheddadi]

[SHIFT_COUPE]

[beeristasty]

Get used to it. You are going to see more of these types and wagons like the new dodge they are pumping. Car based SUVs and wagons. The industry has been moving this way for a couple years now. Functionality of SUV with more car like economy. The ford is more functional styled like the Scion. If nissan did one they could make a rugged xterra syled car based SUV.

You will also see 2 door sports SUVs - with high road handling capabilities.Historically I think Nissan tries to benchmark BMW in terms of the sportiness of its products so its entries I would imagine would be on the sports side.

Back to the ford I havent read up on it - but if it offers functionality like its name implies - it should do well. Especially if it were powerful yet more efficient than an SUV.

I agree with you cali g

that nissan does try to keep things sporty and i dont think they would produce something like this or the scion, ick, elemet, ick,

This ford here looks like a ghetto low rider

Nissan already has something like that in the family. The Cube, but its only on Japan; although I'm surprised it hasn't been brought to stateside yet.

[audtatious]

The Cube could actually be made to be pretty cool

[tuffmag]

Hey did not ION or some other car company have that small version that looked like a box on wheels?

ION is a car company?

[jungleboogie]

this car is... how do you say... poor man's range rover?

[dldjros69]

i think the cube looks kinda neat, better than the flex.

but all together still gross

I stick with my coupe, and leave the flex for soccer moms, and dorks

[Thannatos]

How about the nissan dualis

[dldjros69]

Naa that dualis looks hot.

Nothing like the flex

lol

[jungleboogie]

How about the nissan dualis

same as Infiniti EX?

[audtatious]

The Dualis is a close sister to the Rogue

Yea man you never heard of that Car/automotive company? dude you must be one of the 17 year old's cruising the forum?

Sion or something is the car....or something like that.

At the NY car show Scion had a box car that looked like that... was pretty wild.. i cant remember the name.. it had fisheyes as turn signals on the side (like an audi) that were cameras and displayed the video on the inside of the door... with an all glass roof..

[bina12834]

the Flex reminds me of a Land Rover.

According to the June issue of Car & Driver the Nissan Cube is coming to the U.S. in 2010.

[audtatious]

A couple of years ago numerous publications said it would be here in 2008

Its about time, really. Nissan doesn't have anything to compete against cars like the Scion xB. With gas prices the way they are, people are going to start buying cars like that instead of Explorers and Tahoes...

I am retired and drive for a Toyota/Nissan dealer and you wouldn't believe the number of big SUVs that are getting traded in on smaller cars.

I know one chevy truck driver that is probably going to be needing a new non chevy brand vechile as he left his broke down chevy truck on the side of the road late Saturday in Baytown, Texas and the local cops stumbled up on it and it's $300,000 load of pot in the bed. I image his career as a drug mule is over.
