Site for square eyes: Nissan Cube hits the web

July 23, 2008 |  3:00 pm

Latcubesite Since there seems to be a lot of Nissan Cube fans in this neck of the cyber-woods, they might be interested to know that there’s now a dedicated website. Aimed almost relentlessly at young people, it features all sorts of things -- some obviously Cube-related, others not so much.

One cool aspect is the ‘art car’ feature. Nissan gave two Cubes each to the Pratt Institute in New York and the Brooks Institute film school in Santa Barbara, and told the students to do their things. The Pratt contingent went arty while the Brooks brothers and sisters made a short film. The results can be seen on the site, along with a photo gallery.

The production version of the Cube for North America makes its debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show on November 19. Before then, however, viral marketing will take in things like Facebook, Twitter and whatever social networking sites happen to be hot at the time.
