2014 Nissan Cube: The Last Year On Sale For Funky Tall Wagon? - Green Car Reports
Sales figures for the Cube have been dismal--just 5,461 Nissan Cubes were sold last year (and 7,667 the year before). Now Nissan has quietly withdrawn the Cube from sale in Canada , leading to inevitable speculation over the oddball wagon's U. S. fate as well. Green Car Reports reached out to Nissan for comment on the future of the Cube, but didn't get a lot of information. "The 2014 Cube will continue to be available at this time," said Dan Passe, Nissan's senior manager for brand communications. [ UPDATE : Just four days after we published this article, Nissan confirmed to trade journal Automotive News that it would withdraw the Cube from the U. S. market. The Nissan Cube was introduced as a 2008 model, two years before the 2010 Kia Soul. Honda's Element was one of the earliest tall-wagon entries, arriving as a 2003 model, and the second-generation Scion xB was launched the same year as the Cube. Gas mileage was rated at 28 mpg combined (27 mpg city, 31 mpg highway) for the CVT version, and 27 mpg combined (25 city, 30 highway) for the manual. Source: www.greencarreports.com
