All-New 2009 Nissan Cube On Sale Now

The all-new 2009 Nissan CUBE went on sale
last week at Nissan dealers nationwide, sporting an engaging asymmetrical
exterior design, socially oriented lounge-style interior, a powerful and
fuel-efficient 1.8-liter engine, six standard air bags, a full catalog of
innovative accessories, a starting Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail
Price (MSRP)* of $13,990 and one other thing – an innovative
marketing campaign centered around a downloadable-content-rich “cube
Mobile Hub.”

“A vehicle as unique as the new Nissan cube deserves an equally
breakthrough launch,” said Christian Meunier, vice president, Nissan
Marketing, NNA. “We envision owners using their cubes as one of
their essential mobile devices, connecting with friends, sharing music and
sharing fun. It’s a natural extension to have our marketing be just
as involving – giving owners and prospective buyers alike a variety
of ways to interact with and learn more about this unique new
vehicle.”

Access to the “cube Mobile Hub” will be available
(beginning May 15) through a shortcode or “text to” number
incorporated into the traditional marketing media mix, including
television, print, direct mail and interactive. Once at the Mobile Hub,
users will have the opportunity to download unique content, such as
wallpapers, videos, music, ringtones and a link to the nissanusa.com mobile
site.

The iPhone app, “cube Party Roundup,” is scheduled to go
live on June 15 and will be available for play in single-player and
multi-player modes (up to eight friends). The personalizable, mission-based
driving app sends the player around a city picking up friends, ice, music
and other items before a party.

Additional levels allow the player to pick up dates, go to concerts and
other activities, all the while navigating around various obstacles to
complete the mission. A Facebook version of “cube Party
Roundup,” where users will be able to share their progress with
friends, will go live in early July.

In addition to the “cube Mobile Hub,” customers can
research information on the new cube, read product reviews, locate local
Nissan dealers and even order custom cube? t-shirts at www.NissanUSA.com/cube.
