I saw one of these for the first time today and if nothing it is a weird design it looks like a square on wheels.
I don't know how many of you have seen this car, but I don't know if its the name or the shape or if it just looks like a matchbox with wheels, but I can't imagine if you got into an accident that you would be real safe in this kind of car.
It got me to thinking what are the strangest designs that you have seen for a car?

To be honest I don't know what the appeal of this type of car is. I think it's ugly, the look like boxes. I've seen cars like this but can't say I have seen the Nissan Cube. Your right though, it makes me wonder how safe the car actually is.
I definitely don't think I'd ever buy a car that looked like that.
Now the Hummer's they weren't too bad looking, too bad they were gas guzzlers.

the hummer always reminds me of a military type vehicle since they have some of those that they actually use.
my dad always said if he had a lot of money he would get one of those hummer's.
I always thought that those compact newer model cars are just strange looking and I don't think I would feel safe in one of them if I was in an accident.
I have not ever had the chance to ride in one of them however, since no one I know has gotten one.

No one I know has gotten one before either, and probably for good reason! It does look like a bad car to be in if your in an accident.
I believe they took Hummer's off the market because of the gas prices? We were driving by an old hummer place yesterday and were talking about it.
I wouldn't mind a hummer though if the gas wasn't an issue.

lolll It looks like one them ugly Scion box cars that are so dern popular. I cant stand them, they are just ugly. These things would (do) sell bigtime in Japan but when an US citizen does it its tarded. Just my opinion. Why make it the shape of a box though??? It does look like a square on wheels. I dont know if its safe or not, perhaps the Dept of Highway Safety has the reports on most crashes by car type. i should look into that... i feel like i'm rambling

yeah I don't know either if they are safe or not, but not much bigger then one of those beetles or as them call them around here bugs.
It is a weird design, but if the idea was to make a car that looked like a cube with wheels I guess they succeeded in that regard I don't think I'd ever want one though.

I've seen one or two-I kinda like them..I wanted a scion (which is similiar) but I wound up with my 3rd Saturn~I've had really good luck with saturns and it's probably best not to get something that others can't recommend-my mechanic says he hasn't worked on one yet-is that good or bad LOL
Speaking of a matchbox with wheels-look at those SmartCars...I mean if one of the big trucks hits you-you're a goner for sure.
I haven't seen too many strange designs-I like em different...then again you're getting feedback from a 73 Gremlix X lover

someone said that they are good on gas and if that is all that you care about then that could be a fine car to get.
I am just not much into the compact car look I guess is what I am trying say and I don't think I'd feel safe in one the way that people drive around here.
I always liked the look of the Saturn cars.
