日產(chǎn)Cube

????日產(chǎn)Cube于2009年5月上市，自那以后，它就因?yàn)樵O(shè)計(jì)缺陷而飽受詬病——比如它使用的創(chuàng)新性的車身涂料。它“新銳的造型”并沒(méi)有在消費(fèi)者中引起多少共鳴，銷售也十分疲軟，被排擠為邊緣車型。起亞秀爾（Soul）也是一款采取了菱形設(shè)計(jì)的車型，今年已是它上市的第三個(gè)年頭，秀爾的市場(chǎng)吸引力要比Cube大得多，銷量也達(dá)到了Cube的6 倍。日產(chǎn)公司只能寄希望于油價(jià)暴漲，好讓Cube轉(zhuǎn)危為安。

Nissan Cube

????The Cube went on sale in May 2009 and since then has suffered an acute case of design decay, i.e, the novelty car blues. Its edgy styling -- pun intended -- hasn't worn well with buyers, and its sales have fallen to a trickle. The Cube's performance is especially glaring when compared with the similarly rhomboid Kia Soul, which is attracting far more buyers in its third year on the market as it outsells the Cube six to one. Still, Nissan is betting on a surge in gas prices for the Cube to turn the corner.
