Nissan following Toyota's example? Cube coming to the US!

What's interesting about this is that Nissan will likely be snapping up the customers that Scion would have had if they hadn't changed the xB for '08. The new xB is no longer a pure box, is larger, and is more expensive than the 1st gen. IMO, they've strayed too far from their original, successful formula, and Nissan is going to show them the error of their ways.

I never was a fan of the Box, but I admired Scion for pumping out interesting small cars at an unbeatable price. But their 2008 lineup is looking like total crap. The xB was novel because of its shape and size, and now it has neither going for it. The xD is just fugly, and rumors to be overpriced. Heaven only knows what they'll do to screw up the tC and make it 3 for 3.
