Nissan has released further pricing details on its upcoming 2009 cube, including a unique “reserve your cube” online pre-launch reservation system. Set to retail from $13,990, the cube (don’t capitalize the c!) will be offered in four trim levels, including a North America-exclusive Krōm model at the top of the chart.
There’s no such thing as too much of a good thing. Hence the squeezing of 26 extra ponies out of the high tech hunk of aluminum. The VQ37VHR 3.7-liter now yields 332 horsepower and 270 lb-ft. of torque by way of the DOHC system with Variable Valve Event and Lift control. The new engine is mated to a six-speed manual transmission, which is unique in that, according to Nissan, it is the world’s first SynchroRev matching tranny.
