While the Nissan Cube is set to premier at the Auto Show in November of this year, car enthusiasts are chomping at the bit to get a first look. What we know so far about the car is that it is (surprise!) shaped like a cube and comes in bright colors, such as orange, aqua, and off-colors of white. Sounds pretty snazzy so far, right?

Here’s what else we know about this mystery car everyone is so anxious for a chance to see:

Its trunk alone is less than 150 inches long, that’s less than the tiny Mazda MX-5, but still lager than the Mercedes-Benz S-class. 5 folks can comfortably fit inside the car. From side to side, the wheel base is less than 96 inches (or 5 feet), yet it’s tall enough to accommodate even your tallest friends.

People are predicting that it will contain the 1.8-liter engine of the Nissan Versa

and will get about 35 miles to the gallon. However, with its extremely light weight (about 2,500 pounds), you and a bunch of your friends may just choose to carry it from place to place. Driving, though, will take you from zero-to-60 in just 14 seconds or less with its 90-horse power engine.

According to those lucky folks that have had a chance to test drive the Cube, it’s easy to drive and park. It should be, after all – it’s so tiny and efficient. Plus, it has front-wheel drive with electric real-wheel drive assist and a four-speed automatic transmission on only a four-cylinder engine. You’ll love the ample tinted windows, which virtually eliminate blind spots and bring in tons of light. Hey – even the wheels are cool-looking on this little guy!

So how much will this Cube cost? Right under $14,000- all 109 pound per feet of torque included.
