The Cube is Coming

That diminutive little box you see in the photo – and it really is quite small: think Scion xB – is Nissan's Cube, which has been a huge hit in Japan and elsewhere. It is scheduled for eventual North American sale, although a restyling will come first. The market for such vehicles is growing, particularly among folks who reject old-fashioned concepts of what a car should be. When it finally arrives here I predict the Cube will succeed, just like the similarly boxy xB and Honda Element, and, like them, will appeal to all age groups.
