Car Spot: The Nissan Cube

The child of the Nissan-Renault hookup, the Cube is this week's ar spot.

You can see the French influence its design Every time I see one of these I expect that when it stops a bunch of clowns will jump out of it. Kelly Blue Book loved the Cube naming it one of the coolest cars under $18,000 in 2009 and the following year listed the Nissan Cube as one of its Top 10 Road Trip Cars. But not all the media loved it. Cars.com wrote that when the Cube gets above city…

OH MY DEAR FOLLOWED BLOG YOU ARE GETTING A NERDOUT NOW, because there’s so much cool stuff to learn about this thing!

For instance, the snail on the mudflaps is made with the S from the S-Cargo logo you see on the rear windshield! It has a goofy little face!

They really snailed it! (Don’t boo me, boo the official Nissan website I stole this pun from.) If you like me are looking at this idiot and wondering how you could possibly love it more, here’s one for ya: though I’ve been unable to source pictures, it came with a sushi tray. Does it look like I’m joking.

This couldn’t be more Japanese if it was made and sold in Japan only, and that’s ‘cause it was! Remember, there's two types of Japanese products: Japan-only, like the "Pike cars" lineup of which this thing was part, and things with cooler Japan-only versions, like the Micra of the time whose platform these were built upon. (Hence the steering wheel on the right side, so the bastards can keep inconveniencing you even after ferrying them across the world.)

Because yes, this was just one of four whole models that blessed the Micra platform with "spearheading" designs. This is especially cool as getting parts for them is as easy as going to the scrapyard and walking off with 80s Micra bits (they’re not worth the bother of stopping you). Though you do still need to stop your eyes from skimming straight past the Micra's NPC traffic-ass shape.

Easier said than done. Anyhow, get ready, because here’s the rest of the Pike cars:

1987-1988 Nissan Be-1

Yeah, this may not look as bold now, but this was first shown in 1985 - compare and contrast with the Micra it was based on and you can see why the limited 10.000 units run was so outdone by demand they had to set up a lottery.

1989-1991 Nissan Pao

“Okay, we’ll make 50.000 this time, so it won’t sell out before we even start making it” wrong again, and it’s clear why! A solid contender for best car name ever, it seems designed from the ground up to ooze joy in a way you can’t comprehend until you’ve been in one (not to brag, but I would know :D)

1991 Nissan Figaro

While the main inspiration was ‘30s cabriolets, I can personally attest it feels like 40s, 50s, 60s and 90s merged into one. It has remote unlock and trigger door handles, the headrest tucks down into the seat if you hate safety, the gauges have a serif font and ornate dials, the windows are electric and the switches seashell shaped… it’s WILD and I love it.

The Pike cars were a peak bubble-era Japan moment, but the experiment did have lineage, from cars like the Rasheen and Rasheen Forza...

to, as some mentioned, the 2nd & 3rd gen Cube!

The 3rd gen Cube got sold worldwide, too, with, well… an ad campaign.

Fun fact: the Cube’s rear glass wraps around the body on the side opposite the rear hatch hinges, which are on the side opposite the curb (so the opening faces the curb), and what side the curb is on changes with the side of the road you drive on - so Nissan Cubes came in two different, mirrored shapes for left and right hand drive markets.

Oh, Japan.

(please pretend this was posted under my side account @things-about-cars-in-posts, I wrote this prior to its existence and don't want to remake it there)

Nissan Cube Francubestein Edition, 2010. Another special edition third generation (Z12) Cube but this one is actually for sale in the UK (originally a JDM car). Because Cube sales slowed dramatically from their high point in 2003/4 (when nearly 140,000 were sold annually on the Japanese domestic market) Nissan created multiple special editions in an effort to boost demand. This one has found its way to Burton-upon-Trent where it is for sale

the q&a implications for skg … listen — passenger princess Gojo making Sukuna drive him around even though he has like, no firsthand understanding of what an automobile is and does NOT understand traffic signals. Sukuna’s clutching the steering wheel with all four hands, barely holding it together. Gojo’s yapping, fiddling with the stereo, and he can hardly focus on the road. He gets honked at and almost pops a vein restraining himself from dismantling the driver into smithereens

do you know that they have an interior design package you can get that inexplicably adds a small circular carpet to the center of the top of the dash. just a carpet. nothing else near it. no like tray or anything. it’s not even set into the dash it’s just stuck on top. it’s Wild.

thoughts on the nissan cube? i think shes a sweet and gentle beast with a good heart and soft skin but ive heard people call her ugly :((

noooooo she’s not ugly i love her. like yes the styling on the cube is a little wonky but i’ve always found them remarkably charming. they seem like fun little cars too, i’ve never driven one and i don’t think i know anyone who has one, but i’ve always found them cute
