A Certain Design Student scoops Jalopnik! Sighted on the Pratt campus and posted to Flickr on the 29th, two Nissan Cubes.

Days (OK, day) later – the Jalopnik post. I prefer the greenish paint job – it fits – reminds me of earlier Japanese microcars.
Continuing with the automotive theme – the internets are trying to tell me something. Twice, in as many days, I’ve been presented with posts on a vehicle that three days ago I didn’t know existed – a FC (forward control) Land Rover. This, after googling for info on the FC-170 Jeep in the middle of the week. I think the net is becoming self aware – and it likes me!

Want!
The last time I was in Japan, those Nissan Cubes were everywhere, and I fell in love with ’em. i’m still mad that Toyota/Scion ruined the excellent lines and proprtions of their boxy microvan, but the Cube will make up the difference. I might even buy one for a shop truck. Asymmetry rules OK!
And yeah, I would totally rock one of those Land Rovers too.
Seconded. I did a lot of Nissan Cube admiring during my last Tokyo trip. They’re great looking minivans!
Ha! There are at least two rusting forward-controls, unloved, on-site at work. I may see if I can ‘happen’ upon some pictures, if you like?
IG- yes, please!
