Nissan Cube gets the axe
Well at least in Canada... for now.

Nissan Canada just confirmed that the quirky little cube will not be sold anymore.
It is with a lot of regret that we learned that the Nissan cube has been axed in our country. Nissan Canada announced the news on Twitter, when an anxious reader asked them why the cube was not on their website anymore.
But if we take the time to look at the sales numbers of the cube, it’s quite obvious why they chose to kill it: in March, across all of Canada, Nissan only sold 3 cubes… By comparison, 9,706 Ford F-Series were bought, and even the low-volume SRT Viper found 10 people willing (and with the means) to buy one!
While we currently have no news from Nissan USA, it is probable that even if the cube soldiers on for another year, it will not be eternal, since it shares its platform and engine with the last-gen Nissan Versa.
So if you were waiting for a good deal on a cube, it’s now or never, since those still left on the dealers' lots will likely be sold with a huge rebate!

This must be one of the ugliest car on the roads right now. I don;t even understand what is this suppose to be and how the buyer of this should look like.

in the US....according to Nissan's last sales results, it sold just 356 units in April, down 23.9 percent from a year ago, and 1,604 vehicles from January to April, down 33.7 percent.

The reason for the Cube's low sales is obvious.......both the Kia Soul and Scion xB provide substantially more vehicle in the same price range. I think it's only a matter of time before it will also be pulled from the U.S. market.

yeah, put it in a cube....the most ridiculous looking vehicle on the street. From an artist look...it look stupid, from an aerodynamic look..it look stupid. I can not think of a way to have it look good
