2008 is shaping up to be a year in which at least three boxy, compact, and quirky cars arrive at U.S. showrooms. Nissan is expected to bring its five-door Cube hatchback to North America in 2008 or 2009, according to AutoWeek. The car will become slightly more aerodynamic, but will remain boxy and quirky, as it should be. One thing that will change slightly is performance. Nissan is expected to tweak the 88 hp powerplant to provide U.S. customers with the peppy ride they expect. Pricing will probably be somewhere between $10,000 and $13,000. Meanwhile, as previously noted, Ford is expected to bring its Bronco Concept to life in 2008 or 2009. And lastly, Chrysler will likely put the Dodge Hornet Concept into production around the same time. Will U.S. buyers embrace these compact boxy economy cars? Time will tell…
