    Looks better than an xB (Xb?) in pictures, but I withhold final judgment until I see it and the Soul IRL.

    A lot less "cute" than I thought it would be, which is a good thing. I can't wait to see one in person.

    Indeed. I'm impressed they kept the overall design language even though the had to make it a little bigger for North America. definitely two thumbs up from me

    This is excellent news. I really like this car.

    i just don't see the appeal

    maybe just to have some quirky car, but it reminds me of the honda element a little too much

    Probably somewhere in between. I would say about $15k-16k... maxing out around $18k.


    I still like the old xB more. That car was JDM tyte yo... not feeling the Cube so far.

    I was just in Japan and these things are everyplace , I didnt think they would let them into the US with the lack of the rear piller in the corner but I guess so . Hate to see a rollover in one of those

    I can see Japan liking these.....a lot

    I think I read in car and driver that its supposed to be around 15k, or in that territory. Think scion xb pricing I guess. And I believe it does come with awd via an electric motor.

    I like the grill treatment of the last gen better, the rest looks great though!

    The rear of the car would look better if it wasn't so asymmetrical.

    I like that it's been changed minimally. They had the good sense not to screw with success. I wish more people did the same.

    I know that we are supposed to want, need, and desire tiny cars designed in (and for) foreign lands, but I don't see the appeal of this thing. Its not that I don't like micro car or box-shaped card. This Cube is just a mess of organic shapes and big radiuses, as if it is ashamed of being a box on wheels. The whole message is a bit incongruous.

    is it just a refresh or a whole new car?
    Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.

    That's kind of the point.

    So, with this and the Soul...who is going to buy the xB? Florida retirees?

    I dunno about it. The asymmetry in the rear is throwing me off.

    I think it's cool as hell. It'd be tough choosing between a Cube and a Soul.

    I am assuming the brake lights are covered by the white plastic? I think I like it. I am still unsure about the front end. I am still a huge fan of the original.
