The Nissan Cube had been sold in Japan since 1998, and it had developed a cult following over there, but Nissan waited until 2009 to bring the third-generation Cube to the U.S.
The Nissan Cube has an unusual, asymmetrical exterior with a side-swinging cargo door and a rear window that actually wraps around one of the sides, plus beveled window frames all around; inside it's just as odd, with a lot of rounded design cues and a flowing interior design that was modeled after Jacuzzi tubs.
All that design weirdness translates to a very usable vehicle for people and cargo, however. It's one of the most upright vehicles, in terms of seating, and four taller adults can fit quite comfortably inside. Seats, in front especially, are better than those of most small cars. And the side-opening door along with the Cube's very low cargo floor together work well for groceries, even if the backseat doesn't fold flat to expand the floor.
