The Nissan Cube which, for me, has taken the place of the Isuzu Trooper (the first generation in particular) is just ugly. The design is no more innovative than taking a shoe box and putting wheels on it. That was my first impression of the the Trooper and is now of the Cube. I don’t think I will ever see either one of them in any other way. The Cube’s asymmetrical rear window that curves around the side doesn’t help one bit! It makes me think the designers just waited to see what their kids put together with boxes and Lincoln Logs and then took directly to their drawing boards without trying to refine it at all.
