Cube offers a lot in a small package

The Nissan Cube is perhaps the most stylish city car that’s come along since the PT Cruiser rolled off the Chrysler assembly lines for the 2000 model lineup.

There’s a bold, futuristic approach to the Nissan Cube design that is just different enough from other boxes — such as the Honda Element — to make it trendy without taking it over the top. Add to that the oversized picture frame windows, large rear door that opens much like a refrigerator — thus allowing access even in cramped parking quarters — and all kinds of high-tech extras including steering wheel audio controls and “Intelligent Key” with push-button ignition, and you see why the Cube’s in demand.
