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.
