NYIAS 08: Nissan Denki Cube

**Rex Raider** · 03-20-2008, 07:08 AM

Nissan took its Japan-market Cube--a car it is thinking of bringing to the U.S. market--and fitted it with an electric drive and lithium-ion battery to create the Denki Cube concept.

Is Nissan hurting that bad that they have to copy the ugliest car that Toyota ever gave birth to? That is just funny.

VibenPontiac · 03-20-2008, 02:09 PM

With electric power now its as close to a refrigerator on wheels as one can get.

And as for design - the old xB and an Apple power adapter had a kid!!!
