Isn't a car a 'mobile device?' You say it predates the Scion and Element but then bash it for being a knock-off.<br><br>On the knock-off point, however: people in general, including designers, feed off of good ideas. Naturally, when you see someone else with a good idea, you want to improve it. The more perspectives, the better the idea becomes. <br><br>The shag carpeting may be silly, but the Cube is a silly car. I'm all for beautiful and unique cars, and I think the Cube is in that category. I would think the shag carpeting would be a useful place to put a small object w/o having it slide around? We have enough boring car clones in the world. I for one welcome the Cube to America. =) I think you're taking the Cube too seriously. Isn't a car a 'mobile device?'

It is one of the best selling vehicles in Japan and Toyota is still play catch up.<br>I am biases since I own a Cube, the fact that it is unique was one of my main reasons for purchasing it - that plus the fact that it is one of the few small car that fits my 6'2" frame.
