If you’ve been trying to decide which of the new boxes would make a better escape rig, you might want to consider the video after the jump. It seems a woman in sunny California became irate at the news Kia and Nissan were rolling out slick new boxes of their own. The result is a [...]

Just a few short years ago, if you had less than $20k to spend on a brand-new ride, you had your choice between a few flavors of the same driving-death theme. Every option out there was cramped, ugly, noisy and full of do it your own damned self amenities like manual locks and windows. If [...]

I’m beginning to see the appeal of Florida. Whereas the East Coast Autofiends office is drenched in rain and 40 degree weather at the moment, I’m rolling along toward Key Largo with the windows down, tunes up and the sunroof open.  There’s nothing but white sand and blue water ahead of me and with Interpol [...]

If you’ve been wondering why there’ve been scantily few posts as of late, it’s because I’ve been frolicking through Florida in Kia’s new Cube/xB/Element fighter. What’s the word? You’ll just have to wait until Friday for the full We Drive. For now, just be content in knowing I would never invoke the Godfather of Soul [...]

As you may have guessed, I’m a big kei car fan. Love the little guys. I also love the current, but soon to be old, Nissan Cube. Therefore you just know I’m going to be gaga over a kei car that looks just like the nearly-kei car Cube. In truth, the new-faced Alto Lapin (AKA Mazda [...]

Detroit’s looking more and more like that awkward company party no one wants to go to. Nissan and Infiniti have joined the ranks of car makers who have no desire to go freeze their collective tails off in the land of the Big Three. That’s a real shame considering that the two essentially stole the [...]

Not sure if my Fiendish friends know how much I love the now suddenly last generation Cube, but boy, I love it. Similar to the Mini, it offered a lot of design for very little cash (about $11,000). Plus, terricloth interior. Only two problems. 1) Right hand drive. 2) Not for sale in AMERICA! Well, [...]

Here it is, the official photos of Nissan’s Cube. We only get a couple of shots of the USDM version (the glass wraps around the opposite direction in the back), but there are plenty of JDM photos to satiate our curiosity for now. The pics show all kinds of neat tricks, like a massive sunroof, [...]

Yes, right, the 2010 Ford Mustang is live on the web! And Mr. Justin and I talk about it. Cause like, you know, new Mustang! Anyhow, we both have high hopes. We also babble on about the new Cube and if they ‘Mericanized it. And then we (kinda) get into Porsches. For just a momemt. But [...]

Looks like the fine folks over at Nissan have been scooped by the hardworking hands at the docks. The Nissan Cube has had its sheets pulled off during transport. The car will get its official introduction to the world at the start of the LA Auto Show. While the people mover looks a little more [...]
