Nissan Cube (Z12)

The Nissan Cube (Z12) is a mini MPV made by Nissan in Japan and sold in North America from 2009 to 2014. Its weirdest quirk: An asymmetrical rear window that wraps around onto one side of the car and not the other.

A rolling toaster that Nissan says was inspired by a jacuzzi. The back is lopsided on purpose, the tailgate swings sideways like a fridge door, and the accessory list included a patch of shag carpet for the top of the dash.
