Not square

In the past two days I've seen two Nissan Cube vehicles around town, both with out-of-state tags. They're futuristic-looking, with an asymmetrical, wrap-around back window. "Consumer Reports" describes the car as"tall and boxy" with "an enormous amount of space and easy access," and an impressive 28 mpg overall. But acceleration is "slow,"  handling is "rather clumsy," steering is "vague," "wind and road noise are pronounced," and reliability is "below average."
