I really like the asymmetric window. It also drives my wife nuts when we see one. She believes in balance and symmetry and I believe in yanking her chain at every chance I get. It's a symbiotic relationship.

We've seen the Nissan Cube in other lands, and it has finally arrived here for 2009. As it appears, it's basically a rolling box--a conveyance for hauling friends, bikes and stuff.
The Cube does get its share of funkiness, though, including optional equipment like the Shag Dash Topper--we're still not sure what it does--and door handle bungies should you feel the need to lash something to the door panel.
Those options do add up, however, as they raised our car's price from $16,790 to $22,780. At $2550, the Ginormous package added most of the bling: aero kit, 20-color interior accent lights, custom grille and some other shiny bits. The base car starts at $13,990.
We give Nissan props for not equipping the Cube with a wheezer of an engine, a fault that removed some shine from the original xB. Even with the automatic transmission, the Cube's 1.8 was plenty quick enough for us--and our wacky stuff.
