i had to drive one as a rental car in japan, but after driving one, I never went to a rental place that made me drive a Cube instead of a Honda Fit. Hopefully the new one will change my attitude toward them.

Guess they couldn't stand watching the xB sales take off.

Because Toyota lost touch with the entire B-segment movement with their latest xB, I think the Cube will fit in just nicely. The latest xB has gone the way of "bigger is better" US mentality when in reality, everything but interior space is bigger and heavier. Shame on Toyota.

Default New York '08 Preview: Nissan to give Big Apple a charge with Denki Cube EV

We've known for several weeks now that Nissan was planning to show off an all-electric car based on the JDM Nissan Cube at this week's New York Auto Show. The Denki (meaning electric) Cube has of course spilled out onto the interwebs in advance of it's official unveiling tomorrow at the Javits Center. Looking much like the battery pack that will power it, the Denki Cube should appeal to fans of the now-departed first-gen Scion xB. The basic Cube has been dressed up inside and out to better shout out about its high tech power supply. Nissan has a lithium battery joint venture in Japan with NEC that will likely be the source of the energy storage systems. Stay tuned for more details tomorrow!
