Nissan Cube - Would you buy one?

Post by **Nismo_Freak** » Tue May 25, 2004 9:32 am

I rather like it! And for what they cost in Japan (~$10,900) I'd own one in a heartbeat for that kind of cash!

Granted this one has Watanabe's on it, but I still like the styling. It's like a 510 blended with a Xterra.

Rumour has it Nissan might be bringing it over to compete against the Scion.

Yeah, I'd probally pimp it. Almost a little to Honda Elementish though.

Post by **Nismo_Freak** » Tue May 25, 2004 9:32 am

Except it has PAINTED panels (side mouldings are aftermarket)

Those Xterra style fender flares look horrible!

Post by **silkk** » Tue May 25, 2004 9:32 am

i like it. looks good with the rims

As a daily driver I'd totally roll in a cube. I've always liked the super-compact Japanese cars, this one being no exception. They're great on gas, fun to drive, and I think they look cool, being that they're anti-aerodynamic.

i likes it. i like the flares on it too. if they were painted.

Post by **f s t caz** » Tue May 25, 2004 9:32 am

hell ya. minus the plastic fender flares though. Take one of the 4cylinder 4 wheel drive ones

Normally I respect your opinion Alan...but that things dog ugly! Looks like a Scion to me, and lord knows I hate Scions (mostly the xB, but also the Xa a bit). I dont understand the concept of making an extremely small, un-aerodynamic, underpowered vehicle that looks SUV like but can barely handle speed bumps. The gas mileage cant even be THAT fantastic, look at the design of the car, its a "cube." It's going to be extremely affected by wind, I would hate to drive that thing across eastern Colorado in a heavy cross-wind, its liable to blow right the **** off the road! It must be pretty light, which just makes things worse. Personally, I much prefer the .31 drag coefficient of my 240

That reminds me of the Toyota Scions and i hate the scions. I just don't like that mini SUV look...kinda reminds me of the Honda Element too

*EDIT*

lmao Nathan... hadnt even read your post when i wrote this :ylsuper

I dig it. Hell, I dig the xB.

the brake lights are too low, safety hazard!!! we're not looking down when we're driving. usually out the side window looking at hot chicks.

Post by **AZhitman** » Tue May 25, 2004 9:32 am

I dig it.

Needs 20's. And some gorilla fur upholstery.

Post by **downshift** » Tue May 25, 2004 9:32 am

Hmm.....i dont like it, but strangely enough I like the Scions. About the only thing on it i would pimp is the rims. Looks kool. Oh and the color is kool too.

Post by **jdmfreak** » Tue May 25, 2004 9:32 am

I like it as well. Get rid of those fenders though and it'll be allright.

Post by **xns** » Tue May 25, 2004 9:32 am

no fenders, or just something other then plastic, and I like it

Post by **Mr1der** » Tue May 25, 2004 9:32 am

I still stand by my statement of the March kickin' it's ***.

feel it's 1.2 liter fury.

Post by **180crafter** » Tue May 25, 2004 9:32 am

Ok... Honestly, I can see the appeal, but I would never buy one.

Another thing to consider, are 5mph bumpers. I think the Japanese bbx's are way better looking, just because the front bumper does not protrude like an Underbit chin.

Your pic -the window crap-the flares-cheap looking tailights-ugly stock grill= Nice car.

Post by **NecCo** » Tue May 25, 2004 9:32 am

If I didn't have a 240 I would buy one

Post by **downshift** » Tue May 25, 2004 9:32 am

hmm.....if i didnt have a 240(which i dont) i would be frantically trying to get my hands on one (which i am) because i rather stay in a sportier class than that.

Post by **jdmfreak** » Tue May 25, 2004 9:32 am

That would only be a once in while cruiser. Definately not a daily driver. That is if I could fit in that thing.

Post by **NecCo** » Tue May 25, 2004 9:32 am

hey downshift I'll GIVE you my 240.......wait, no, no I wouldn't sorry dude.

You my friend, are a very unfunny dude. lol j/k its all in good fun till someone gets hurt, which reminds me, gotta take a trip out to knoxville, tn with my favorite baseball bat.

i have no idea why the box look is becoming so popular (element, scion....cube?!?!) I just don't see anything to it. Maybe its just because i drove an '85 caprice for 3 years when i first got my liceance and i hated the way it looked...boxy.

Post by **jdmfreak** » Tue May 25, 2004 9:32 am

Well Elemant is the Fugliest of the bunch.

Post by **khilgers** » Tue May 25, 2004 9:32 am

That things butt *** ugly. You couldn't pay me to drive one of those.

Post by **cdiesel12** » Tue May 25, 2004 9:32 am

reminds me of the scion which i like

Post by **Chingon** » Tue May 25, 2004 9:32 am

I've seen these car styles in japanese official sites for the past 2 years, so the idea is nothing new, however bringing that crap over here is.

Post by **DeathBy240SX** » Tue May 25, 2004 9:32 am

Those are Nismo rims.

Post by **ShadowKnight006** » Tue May 25, 2004 9:32 am

A few design changes and it would be alright....raise the rear lights, shorten the back end, and raise the whole thing up a bit. I don't like it as it is, but it has potential. I don't like Scions but I DO like the Honda Element. The cube would have to be great on gas to make it really worth it, even a hybrid would be kewl.
