shan,

current model bB or classic shape?

because toyota is bringing out the "rukus" in about a week's time... which is the current model bB

toyota saw a market opening for it when kia introduced the soul

....i prefer the true box... the cube.

Drove mine home from the depot today - seriously there were people pointing and laughing and kids waving at me. I don't think even the GT-R generates that much attention...

current model the QNC2-something. Maybe a good thing, it'll no doubt be expensive and people looking for an alternative might opt for a fringe-dweller spec Cube.

I'd laugh so hard if someone started bringing in Subaru Dexs? Dexii? as Subaru haven't sold em here, and they're basically the bB with a suby engine.

yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh the thing is though... (this has been my opinion since the day one)

is people who are going to buy the "rukus" will know that it's a bB

as in... people will go to toyota looking for a bB van... the kind of buyer of the "rukus" isn't the kind of person that's

"just having a look around for a new car tossing up between the tiida the jazz and the swift"

they'll be going to TOYOTA because they want the bB van

does that make any sense??? i hope it does... i'm not very good at portraying my point there...

but

the customer will know about bB van from the internet... they'll want it because it's a box car

i highly doubt that the "rukus'" target market is going to be willing to pay the ~22k price tag for ... what is essentially a car people buy for teh lulz.

they will be more attracted to the more iconic, better priced and better equipped (yet older) nissan cube.

i know i would be - as far as "box" cars go... my preferences are as follows

honda stp wgn

honda jazz / fit

nissan cube (2nd gen - the one featured in this thread)

nissan cube (3rd gen - SERIOUSLY you guys need to get SEVS compliancing in on these cars before nissan cottons on!)

toyota bB first gen

suzuki wagon R

toyota bB 2nd gen (marketed as the Rukus)

and

the kia soul

in other words i don't find the rukus very desirable...

and - that's great news about your cube kris

IMPORTERS TAKE NOTE.

the glory days of the japanese powerful car of the 1990's are over. the market is shifting and there is a new market of bean / toaster cars waiting to be SEVS approved!!!
