Spotted Cubed by steve_ HOST

We went clunker shopping and looked at a Cube from the outside. The rear asymmetry didn't bother us at all. Also looked at a Suzuki SX4 which seemed pretty nice. The Nissan/Suzuki/Kia/GMC dealer had about 3 salespeople way at the Kia end of the lot a half block away. Otherwise the lot and showroom were empty. We would have liked to have looked inside the Cube and taken the SX4 out for a spin.
 
My wife ran into a couple she knows at the dealer and they are shopping similar small cars - Fit, Soul, etc. The woman made an insightful comment that every one of them had some little something missing. The problem with the SX4 is the mpg, although you can turn the AWD off, but you still have too short of a range between fill-ups.
 
We also drove an xD again and my wife, who shattered her left leg skiing back in February (rod, 9 screws), was happy to see she could use the clutch in the manual transmission one we drove.

Hey! I saw my first Cube in the wild, as well... Looks as good (?) as any of the other toasters on the road...

are popping up regularly in my nabe, this is one new car that is selling well. The new styling makes it look larger and more substantial but I prefer the crisper Gen 1 look.

I saw a few Kia Soul this weekend...that rear light design is just wrong.

Earlier this week, I saw two Nissan GT-Rs, one in silver, the other in blue. Also saw a new Camaro in a burnt orange color, with no stripes. It looks odd in orange without stripes.

Also saw a Cube on the road just before the weekend. I used to like pics of the previous Cube in Japan. Now seeing this new one in person is a big letdown. Its Fugly, imho.

I forgot that I spotted a GT-R a couple of weeks ago, it looked good in very dark grey-brown but I don't care for the black wheels.

I see many Cubes all over the place. Saw a GT-R in black on Saturday. Saw a new Z4 with a hard top yesterday, not too bad. So far saw just one Camaro on the road, in red color.

A local dealer had 3 or 4 GTRs sitting out in front of his place the other day - charging MSRP plus a hilarious markup must not be moving the metal...the local rich kids and corporate sucks seem to be sticking to their Ms and Porsches.
 
Speaking of that, a new car has turned up in the garage of my building...a current style Carrera 4 Cabrio...I don't know the exact year but it can't be very old. The garage is now very diverse...I wonder what's behind that...weird economy.

Sometimes rental apt buildings have nice cars in them. Maybe the people choose to "invest"in cars rather than real estate.
 
I remember in the early 90s my parents and I moved to a middle class neighbourhood rental building. A majority of the cars were newer models, many being new Hondas like Accord, and Preludes. There was also a silver 85 Vette in there, maybe a Porsche, and some BMWs too.
