I like the sport concept and the cube...they look pretty cool. The azeal looks kinda off

 

Is it just me or is that very Peugeot 206 looking?!

 

 

i think its renault or pegeout that own part of Nissan

 

Renault owns 44.4% of Nissan, and Nissan holds about 15% of Renault. Peugeot is separate and all that they own is Citroen.

I like the Scion lunchbox much better then the Cube. I really dont like any of these cars Nissan is trying to produce. As someone stated earlier.....

Unoriginal......
Very....

 

TOKYO, Japan — It's upgrade time for the Nissan Cube and Cube3, two of the hottest small cars in Japan these days.

From the moment Nissan launched the compact, two-row Cube box wagon in October 2002, then added the bigger, three-row Cube3 in September 2003, the cars' hit formula of funky, functional design, matched to smart packaging, has kept the orders pouring in.

The face-lift magic wand has now brought subtle styling improvements and an expanded engine range for the Cube duo. Reshaped lamps and bumpers, plus redesigned instruments on the inside, form the main cosmetic updates.

Nissan's boosted power, too, by adding its new-tech 1.5-liter gas engine to the mix. With 108 hp at its disposal, it has a little extra muscle on the original 1.4-liter, which has 97 hp. With the Cube3 (also known as Cube Cubic), you can now get electronic all-wheel drive, as well.

Nissan distributors around the world, including North America, have been knocking on the door of Nissan's headquarters, asking whether they can get the Cube. On this generation, the affirmative has not been forthcoming but Nissan has all but admitted the next Cube, due around 2007, will make it to U.S. to give Toyota's Scion brand a run for its money.

What this means to you: Two cars that are big in Japan and could easily tempt many young Americans have just become even more enticing.

 

With the Cube, at least Nissan put the gauge pod where it belongs...in front of the driver instead of the middle of the dash like on the Scion xB.

 

Well the same can't be said about the thing they call a minivan, the Quest w/the drum/turntable on the dash.

 

Unoriginal? I thought it was already discussed that nissan made the cube before the Toyota Bb.

 

LOL..i know exactly what you mean. My friend had the scion xb and he said it was so odd looking at the speedometer in the middle of the dash. He got rid of it and got an rsx instead.

 

What about the Daihatsu?

 

No arguement there...the Quest is an oddball in a number of ways, and has been unreliable to boot. In fact, it may not be around much longer, at least in present form.....Carlos Ghosn himself admits it was a mistake.

 

Well if that's the case then cool, but they didn't put it into production first. So to the general public who doesn't know that fact would probably also feel it was a little unoriginal. Not everyone is all knowing about cars like we are. JK.
