Whaddyareckon?

 

Personally, I like it.

 

Not particularly because of the way it looks... But more so because its different, its not typical Toyota bland, and if it gets the US-spec 2.4 litre (with a manual) it should go like the clappers.

 

Slam it on some 17's with a kit and I reckon it'd make a pretty cool little daily.

There's being different, and then there's having taste buds in your ass. This falls into the latter category. :D

Personally i reckon it looks mad. Nice and square.

[JiP]

Hehehe... I was hoping for varied reactions.

 

Best get used to the 'toaster with wheels' styling... It will be popular. Also, don't go to Japan.

Possibly...?

 

I prefer the bB as well... They're smaller than the xB (Rukus) and come in an 'Open Deck' variant.

 

 

 

They'll be eligible for import later this year.

I don't like it but then again how far can the bubble shape go, It used to be Box cars in the 30's, round cars in the 50's, 70/80's box again, round cars 94-10, maybe its going back to box again.. :D

It doesn`t take the Japs long. Here`s a street race version already.

You can import the Cube already, if you really like them :D

 

Difference between the Cube and the bB/xB is performance. The cubes are sooooo sloooooow.... The bB is a Yaris and the Xb is a Rolla. Neither are particularly quick but compared to the Micra based cube they're at least nippy.

 

I've driven a Cube and it was flat out keeping up with traffic...
