“Cube has generated tremendous buzz for Nissan – it’s fun, functional and it’s an ideal extension of cube owners’ lifestyle,” said Al Castignetti, vice president and general manager, Nissan Division, NNA. “Cube offers features that you just can’t put a price on – clever design, inviting interior, ease of driving and outstanding quality. No other car in its segment comes close to cube.”
“Reserve Your cube®”
To help consumers navigate the expected strong demand for the new cube® at launch, Nissan is making cube® inventory information available online as part of a “Reserve Your cube®” program. Accessed through NissanUSA.com/cube, buyers can view pricing, colors, trim and equipment available in their local areas, then contact a dealer to reserve a specific vehicle.
“The ‘Reserve Your cube®” program will help facilitate conversations between customers and dealers, helping match cube® and owner in a timely manner,” said Castignetti. “We’re excited about the cube® launch and want to make the buying process as hassle-free as owning one.”
