Has anyone ever told you guys that the Cube is a Scion or a Honda? Its happened a few times to me.

The first time this happened, we were in a parking lot and a woman came up to us and said "What a cute car... is it one of those Scions?" (Which she pronounced "sky-on") We were like "nooooo.... its a Nissan Cube!" Which she totally denied that and was like no its not. we were like

The second time was yesterday. A woman came up to the car as my mom was loading groceries and was like "Wow thats a cool car, it looks just like a Honda Element. What is it?" My mom replied "Thanks, its a Nissan Cube." The woman said back, "No its not, its a Honda Element."

People seem to not see the Nissan badge and Cube written on the taillights... what idiots

I've had more than one person point and say, "I didn't know there was a new xB on the market."

Idiots.

Wow. "Why don't I show you the back of my new "xB"... its says Nissan and Cube in quite big letters dontcha think?" But I think a big problem is if you have a Krom theres no Nissan badge on the front, so I think it throws some people off. lol

While it's funny to run into people who insist they are correct, let's take it easy with the "idiot" calling. Some people (a lot I think) are not car enthusiasts and don't pay attention to things about what's new and not like we here at the forums might.

Perhaps they didn't bother to look at the Nissan logo and thought it really was an xB, all you have to do is point and say "See it's the new Nissan" and educate their car-knowledge-lacking selves. Hell I've seen "experts" swear by one thing, and they are 100% wrong, even I have been in situations where I thought I was right and yet was pointed out to be incorrect with evidence.

I love when people try to argue with you about something that you own. "Dude... It's a Cube! You know how I know it's a Cube... Because I BOUGHT IT from a Nissan dealership. I own it.. It's a Cube!. "

LOL. At least you get attention, even if it is stupid people giving you stupid attention.

These forums are pure opinion, not scholarly discussions. I don't see the big deal in calling someone an idiot. Oh well.

But yeah, haven't had anyone mistake my Cube yet. I kinda look forward to the wierd remarks people may have... it is amusing!
