i drive home late at night every day on the highway. As i drive i like to look miles ahead and try to identify the vehicle by the taillights. as i get closer i see if i was right. (what can i say Im a commuter)

anyway

every time i see the tailights of a cube way off in the distance ... I cant believe it , Its a 914!!! as i get closer.... Damn, its a cube.

is it just me??

NO!

Only up to the lights. From then on it easily is the world's most drivable toaster oven.

Not no, but HELL no!

Yes, I think you're the only one.

Do you get fringe benefits at work?

HELL NO!!!
IMHO I think that the CUBE is the ugliest car known to man. My wife calls them the BOOM Box, because typically you will see a ricer driving it with some matching giant Bass box in the back. Maybe a box within a box produces more bass?

You might be tired from work.
But I kind agree with you. Cubes' tail lights are mounted as low as 914 or even lower on the 1st generation. I don't blame you if they looked the same in the dark to you. The shape is almost identical. BTW, I kind like Cube. It can be a cool vehicle depends on who drives.

I always think the cube looks like it has a comb over. Now that you mention it, I kinda like the tail lights.......Nothing else.

Ya, from the rear valance down................. verrrry similar

My daughter thinks they look like a Storm Trooper from the rear!

Dude, you need some glasses or a Toke

no, he needs to put down what he's smoking... but in that last pic I kinda like the lights across the back, not the hideous rear valance tho

TWO but ugly cars...Aztec...jesus, those are ass.....

Posted by: nsr-jamie Jun 26 2010, 09:47 PM

Hey no laughing, my other car is a Nissan cube, they are really nice cars and surprisingly roomy for a compact, not to mention the excellent gas mileage I get and can fit a small motorcycle inside it...my cube is even painted olympia blue.

Posted by: tat2dphreak Jun 27 2010, 09:12 PM

aztec is a beauty queen compared to the honda excrement, err... element...

but the element is nice and roomy inside. so I guess there's that... dunno why it's so roomy, no one would want to ride in one.

i do run a headshop in baltimore...




but i still think the lights can trick you late at night, they are really low for such a big ride

Posted by: Mountain914 Jun 28 2010, 12:12 PM

Not only do I think the cube is ugly and NOT remind me of a 914 - I take extra offense that it's my car you're comparing it to !!



I remember in the late 70's, I could identify almost any car just by the headlights or taillights (except big rigs, but I was getting pretty good at those too).

Now I can even seem them in broad daylight and not be able to tell what they are half the time - dang jelly-beans !!

Saw one of those "Cubes" driving around over the weekend. What was somebody thinking when they came up with that one?

Posted by: kwales Jun 28 2010, 08:15 PM
