Slightly off-topic, but do you know what I hated the most about the Nissan Cube? IT WASN'T A FUCKING CUBE!

The whole car has a Northern California or Colorado yoga instructor vibe.

If that was their target demo, they nailed it.

Atleast make it look like the classic brick aka the Cherokee XJ sport.

Fine, then call it the Nissan Brick. Because it's not a cube!

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What im saying is that the Jeep Cherokee XJ Sport is closer to a cube than the Nissan cube.
