DESIGNER "HEARTBROKEN" THAT NISSAN CUBE DROPPED FROM LINEUP

"I'VE ALWAYS ADMIRED ASYMMETRIC DESIGNS. BUT PERHAPS I'M THE ONLY ONE WHO DOES."  

Nissan Cube designer Daisuke McCoy

Designer Daisuke McCoy describes Nissan Cube
as "my magnum opus"

The designer of the now-canceled Nissan Cube today spoke out for the first time since the vehicle's cancellation was announced earlier this fall.  

Daisuke McCoy said he's "shocked and heartbroken" that the boxy asymmetric vehicle has been discontinued.  "It was my magnum opus," he said dejectedly. "I really thought the Cube would be a huge seller, but apparently most buyers have no imagination and are obsessed with symmetry," said Mccoy, his right eye welling with tears as he stroked his half-beard.   

McCoy quit his job with Nissan after the Cube was dropped, leaving behind a resignation letter that said simply, "i qUIt."
