Nissan Cube 1998

The Cube wasn’t seen as an oddball in Japan, where many people like this kind of vehicle. The third-generation version did achieve that status, though, when it went on sale in Europe and North America. Its appeal didn’t transfer over in the way that Nissan had hoped, and it was optimistically priced. It was therefore discontinued in Western markets very quickly, while continuing to sell well in its home country for years afterwards.
