The Cube

I was driving home from Mexico the other day and got a a chance to see the new Nissan Cube in person.

Here's a nice shot of it.


What was interesting was that there are not a lot of pictures of the back of this ugly looking thing available on the net.

Might that be because someone at Nissan has realized that The Cube reminds people of another ugly duckling in the pantheon of car ugliness?

Yep, the Pacer, from AMC.


So what do you think? What is the ugliest car you have seen or owned?

Not only is it ugly, but it is entirely unoriginal nor clever in its name. "Cube"? At least the Scion version is better looking and calls itself the XB.

I quite like the Toyota Scion XB boxcar, and the new Kia Soul.

But I hate this Nissan. I think it is its lack of symmetry

Hey, I remember the first time I saw an AMC PACER new!

Anyone remember the commercial about getting a 6 foot sub sandwich in a PaceR?

Tao, here's the link to that commercial...

I have to agree with you..that is one UGLY car.
Those old Chevies with the looooong fins never did it for me!

Dave,

Thank you for coming to my defense at bluepitbull's disgusting post on me. I have had nothing to do with him--no communication whatsoever, and he is banned from coming to my blog. I do not know why he attacked me using sexual innuendo at his blog, but it has disturbed me to the point where I believe it teeters on sexual harrassment--it certainly is internet bullying, since he has invited his commenters to attack me.

I will not go into any detail, but right now, at this moment in my life, this is a terrible thing for me to deal with.

But I do appreciate you support. And someday, I may be able to tell you why.
