For fear of being accused of bias after losing out in the hypercube.ca competition, The Good Car Guy has been reluctant to voice honest opinions about the differences in this dynamic duo. First, Kia zoomed the Soul into the North American market. Shortly thereafter, the Nissan Cube came along and GoodCarBadCar.net stood a very good chance, as one of 500 auditioners, of landing one of 50 Nissan Cubes in Canada. Don't believe for a second that GoodCarBadCar.net was ever going to display favour to the Cube just because of victory in an online Twitter-based competition. GCBC always hosts strong opinion. No, the "fear of being accused of bias" revolved around a completely public loss and any potential bitterness. To be clear, there is none. Nissan was brilliant in its Canadian Cube debut; despite some obvious blunders in canvas programming and lack of transparency.
The reason GoodCarBadCar.net must complete a full Cube vs. Soul review is easily discernible. Both cars are young and hip; efficient and modern; opinion-provoking and challenging to the senses; and most importantly all-around vehicles that could very likely compete for a spot in the next edition of The Good 12.
In the label marked CubeSoul, GoodCarBadCar.net will measure each vehicle in the following areas: Interior, Exterior, Features, and Performance. Reserving rights, the Verdict will take into account the X Factor; that certain je ne sais quoi; the intangibles.
Over the past decade, rare has been the occasion that two directly competing cars were introduced in the same season representing fairly new ideas yet at the same time symbolizing all that is right with the modern automotive industry. The Nissan Cube and Kia Soul are like two mountain goats surveying each other from afar in the hours leading up to a clash. Oreamnos americanus - to battle ye go.
