But miles Better than a Nissan Juke. Because it’s stylish, in a bold way, like the Juke it dared to be different, aaand has heaps of cargo room, huge doors. And lots of head and leg room for a car with a tiny foot print. It is, dare I say it, the closest thing to a kei car the United States has seen in the last 40 years. Also the rear seat backs recline.

And, if you don’t like how it looks, just walk around to the other side.

but when it was on the market the Xb had grown, it got bigger and lost most of its charm

I find it amusing that in the Japanese market, with RHD, there is great visibility when checking your blind spot because of the curve of the rear window glass into the rear quarter glass......but they never changed it on the LHD model, so when you check your blind spot, you see a giant pillar. :P

That being said, I always did like the Cube! There’s a dark gray Krom version locally that is always really unique to see compared to everything else! :D

Lol. If you love D pillars, or hate them this car has it covered.

I love the asymmetry, but from the inside it doesn’t really make a difference. And for LHD there’s a. It more visability when you check over your right shoulder.

IMHO, the juke looks waaaaaay better than this box

I’ve never been a fan, but at least it makes a coherent design statement. The Juke looks like it was designed by a committee.

Indeed. But I’d consider the Cube a consolation prize, since that are 5-9 years newer, and most first gen XBs are beat to the ground with 200,000+ miles on them. And starting to rust away.

Not from the inside.

can confirm on the beat into the ground part...my dad’s 05 is at 110k miles and well, it’s seen better days. Shocking to say it has no structural rust despite living in NJ

I like this, but not going all the way and removing the rear pillar always made me mad.

The Cube is an underrated car. Good with the stick for sure. Same with the Soul.

Too many curves. Second gen or GTFO. (Not sold in the U.S., I know.)

I’d take a Nissan Cube any day! The jukes make me want to puke.

That blue is really nice. If I had my pick it’d be the tealish color on the top two
