Here is the Nissan Cube concept model at the Tokyo Auto Show.

Enthusiasts were happy to see that they stayed true to the concept.

The best part is, it is expected to get around 30 MPG highway. Hmm. Let's see. That's 1 MPG more than a freakin' Camaro nearly twice the weight and with more than twice the horsepower! And if GM were to build a "CEUBE or BOXX or BRIKK" designed to look like a crossbreed between a pitbull and the ottoman it humped...using the Camaro V6 drive train with 304 HP...the automotive world would ridicule, denounce, and mock the notion.

Yeah, I think it is all about perception at this point...

Yes, that's why greenies key-job 26+mpg Corvettes too - twisted perception.


I saw a Honda Civic commercial - 35mpg!!

or, 29mpg in a V6 300hp Camaro?

GM should RAM this home repeatedly.

Aztek wins (loses?) forever.

The Xb is homely, but at least it was a practical homely. I mean it's a mini-delivery van. The Cube? well I just don't know about that. I think I need to see it in person first. Certainly not an attractive car though.

As far as the gas mileage thing goes- you have to be fair in that this class of car (b-car) is specifically designed to be a city car. Ya 29 vs 30 on the freeway but it's rated in the 26 range for city driving, so it's 30% more efficient around college campuses and in-city delivery routes.
