Is that a steeting column mounted gearshift? And they plan to bring this to Europe with a feature last laughed out of the continent in the 70s?

Column mounted in the auto model, no doubt. What was that company that just re-invented this old trick... oh yeah, Merc!

Um, no, its was BMW who put it there for the 7-series.
The last Cube had a bench front seat, not possible for the US market even with only two seat belts because the lawyers are no doubt afraid someone will sit there and fly through the windscreen in a frontal collision.
For an automatic with no manu-matic function, it does work well while freeing up console space for a roomier interior in a small car. We seem to like paddle shifters, so why not the whole selector being reachable with your hands on the wheel?

Er, why is it the '2010' Nissan Cube yet it goes on sale in 2008, 2009 latest...

yes, I so hate these marketing schemes that make the car sound so futuristic, meanwhile the car is designed in 2005-2007 and goes on sale NOW already in 2008.

It goes on sale in spring 2010. By US law, anything on sale as of January 2, 20XX can be called a 200XX+1 model. Since that's already 5-6 months after most '09 models come out, it makes sense (and helps resale value) to push the model year forward. It would then have a long first model year and normalize for '11.
It also means, however, that it needs to comply with all new regulations (safety, emissions, etc.) due for 2010, so the buyer wins.

was excited at the nnouncement. disappointed at the results. will not be buying. just too fugly compared to the current model.

Damn it! When I heard they were making a left hander I was looking forward to it...but there's something wrong with it! The eyes are too squnity and the bumpers make it look like it had too much botox injection!
The CUBE grew up from a cute 2 year old to a rowdy 5 year old...
But...I'll still probably buy it though with the hope that there will be numerous dress up options to make it look better...

I'll miss the outgoing 2nd generation. This does look like a cartoon, whereas the current model looks a little more honest. And where are the cool colors like the powder blue and light celery yellow of the current models? Ordinary colors like metallic red and bright blue are so, well, ordinary. And yawn, a grey interior.
The Kia Soul looks cooler and has way more choices in personalization. And Scion might as well be Buick at this point...

I think it looks damn cool and will definitely buy one when it comes to Australia.
