I will probably switch to the cube in a year's time just for the heck of it. For the haters... If you read the car blogs regularly, there are plenty of people out there who think the Versa is ugly too. And you should reserve judgment until you've had a chance to see it in person and "kick the tires". I had a bad reaction when I saw early confidential images, but it's grown on me and won me over two days ago when I saw it up close at the press day in LA. It's quite charming. The interior quality and instrument lighting is on a different level than the Versa, and that's the only comparison I will make. The two cars are very different and are aimed at different tastes. Obviously, if you were into boxy cars, you'd be on a Scion board, not here. On its own, it's a very nice little car with no shortage of personality and potential. It will sell like hot cakes. And, unlike the Versa, it has the after market's attention.
Since the two share the same engine... you should be glad the cube is here.
