Frenemy "Markie" Mark Stevenson, currently of AutoNorth, has won the Hypercube contest and a 2009 Nissan Cube for six months. He'd like to thank Jalopnik readers who crossed the border to vote for him. [AutoNorth]

The 2009 Nissan Cube was designed for me: a young, design-conscious urban dweller. It's not a car; it's a mobile lifestyle enabler. Why, then, don't I like it?

The base Nissan Cube will only cost you $13,990, but the JDM-tastic Nissan Cube Krom will MSRP for $19,370. If you want to be the first with the funky econobox Nissan is taking reservations.

The 2009 Nissan Cube will get a retail price of just $13,990 when it goes on sale this year. What do you get for $14K?

While performing our Super Bowl car commercial watching duties we noticed a 2009 Nissan Cube in the big Pepsi advertisement. What did it cost Nissan? Nothing.
