Apparently they sell well in Japan and well...some people will probably buy them.

it seems like their answer to the kia soul or whatever, and it just doesnt seem practical to me.

the cube has been around for over a decade, before the soul and xB, so, if anything those other cars are the answer to the cube
chronological order is important

The SOB grows on ya I tell ya. I have seen them things in and out. Funky, in a hot chick should be driving it kinda way.
Not my taste, but, they are MORE practical than the equivalent hatchback their platform is based upon.
A cube simply has more room in it, more efficiently than other shapes...and the taller profile simply adds more room to that.
That's why a mini van is better at carrying people and cargo than an SUV, the form factor is more box-like.
:D

I've seen them parked in the dealer lots...not my style tho but I'd take it over Element/Soul.

And why is anyone complaining about asymmetry? Have you ever looked at your own hatch?
Granted the cube is a bit more extreme...
