[ThatGuy]

With Nissan set to debut the Cube in 2009, this Denki Concept adds a twist to the mix.

The look is a bit extreme for me (lightning bolts in the headlights?), but the overall concept interests me.

[bigOdom1]

reminds me of a playskool look to it. i like it and think the headlight idea is really cool although i would take them off the grill. dont like the color of the interior bu the dash looks plastic, again i like it though. cluster is a nice look to it too

[ROUGE180]

Cool little car. Not feeling the lights so much. The little holes remind me a saltine crackers.It's growing on me but realllly slow. Maybe if the car was Black or a night shot it would look cool. Dash? wow.. looks like an 80's calculator lol. NICEE Needs some carbon in the inside. Over all I like it.

[DUFFM4N]

well of course they're gonna come in different colors....i would consider buying one of these for a daily, especially with the expected gas prices for later on in the year and early next year

i was talking to my boss about this car earlier in the year, he said its been out in japan for a while, and our factory actually already makes aftermarket parts for it (full aero, carbon hood, rear hatch etc etc)...hmmmmmm ;)

[DOOK]

hopefully the cube won't have the windshield cracking problems the first generation scion Xb had with the windshield sitting so vertical... we shall see.

[ThatGuy]

My OCD really wants the rear window to be more symmetrical.

The turn signals and tail lights don't really suit my taste, and I've already mentioned my dislike of the "Lightning" headlights.

The lights will likely be changed before it ever sees production, and some black paint, or vinyl might quell my OCD about the back right corner. :D

Why didn't you post this for the masses to see?

When this thing comes out it's gonna sell like hotcakes. It's going to pick up where the xB left off. The new xB is too big and heavy and the sales are dropping because of it.

[ThatGuy]

Good point, moving it to Off Topic.

[Teddy]

I think it's pretty damn cool. I like simple, modern things.

[PhAtXSuMo]

that shit looks sick! i like it, but where are the tailights???

those rims look dope

[ThatGuy]

The tail lights are the 30 small holes in the rear bumper.

[SW20Racer]

i want it.

[BustedS13]

its motherfucking nerf!

i want it.

nerf? like the guns i have a fat boner for (sn is nerfdude3k)?

i don't like it much, mainly because of the asymmetrical rear... what're they going to sell for?

[ZenkitonS14]

Cubes are dope, Itd be fresh to see these in the States

[brndck]

i want a cube, just without all that electric b/s. super subtle, dark grey or black, with some dope chromie shoes (almost like "vip style" but i hate using that term)

looks like it's just dirty. maybe it's owned by a coal miner

[silviaguy240]

its dirt that runs down from the handles and shit, happens to white cars all the time at my work.

[MaD1337M3DRiV3r]

I saw one of these a few months back at the blockbuster near my house

[fliprayzin240sx]

I hate the cubes for one thing...the tail lights. Its retardedly low. I know its not a big deal but for some reason, in my head, I see that as a safety concern.

Ray I am sure the D.O.T. will have something to say to Nissan about the tails before we see it. Overall though I like it.

I personally humped this one:

[jfc3po]

[lflkajfj12123]

[S14DB]

i'd be nervous

Same size as a Versa.

I heard it was not allowed in the u.s cause of the wrap around window. It's just like the scion xb but cooler. DAmn Nissan missed that market. These things are mad cool. Cause it's a Nissan!

[mrmephistopheles]

It's from being in Japan and never being washed by the owner.

[Kwonza Says]

does it come with an EZ bake oven inside?

Did you not read my post that started this thread?

"Nissan set to release the Cube in the US in 2009"

This is just an Electric concept.

[fromxtor]

Looks like the 'rolla is getting traded in '09. I'll be happy to have all Nissans again.

[RedStage]

I actually like the older (first gen) Cube better. Actually own one. Gotta get some springs on it thought ;)
