The Nissan Cube

The Cube, Nissan’s economy MPV, has been a staple in Japan for years and is finally making it to the United States. Sometimes unkindly referred to as a box on wheels, the Cube has an inventory of features that may just make it one of the most popular cars of the next few years.

With comfortable seating for five and plenty of leg and headroom, the Cube doesn’t sacrifice comfort for space. With more cargo space than a Mercedes-Benz S-class and a foot shorter than the Mazda MX-5, it’s compact but surprisingly roomy. Its size makes it very easy to park and maneuver in tight spaces. The Cube’s nicely upholstered seats have comfortably wide armrests and it also has a sunroof, rear wiper and defrost and keyless ignition. The rear door opens sideways and the rear seatbacks flip down for increased cargo space should you need it.

The Cube will undoubtedly be popular, too, for its gas mileage. Its lighter weight of 2500 pounds allows for about 35 miles per gallon. The 1.5-liter engine and 88 horsepower means it’s less powerful than other cars but for efficient, comfortable transportation it just can’t be beat. One of the many unique features of this car is called e-4WD; to engage the rear wheels, simply push a button and you’re in all-wheel drive!

With a base price of $13,821 the Cube is sure to be a big hit.

Benefits of converting your car to run on water

Tired of paying up those insane fuel bills year after year? Concerned about the rapid deterioration of the environment due to harmful carbon emissions that emit from millions and millions of cars that run on the road? Well… the answer is clear and simple. Go in for a water based fuel for your car and cut down the fuel bills drastically.

Automobiles that use a combination of gas and ordinary water to power the engine is getting popular these days, thanks to the efforts of a few inventors who believed in their dreams. If reports are to be believed, such cars have been already tried and tested and are on the road too. It has been tried on Toyotas, Fords, Trucks, Vans and the like, and amazingly, a hundred percent success rate has been observed.

According to this method, ordinary water is converted into HHO gas or Brown’s gas and this is used to power the engine, thereby running a car. Brown’s gas combines the atomic power of hydrogen and the chemical stability of water, which makes it an excellent source of energy. It has also been proved that when an engine is run on a water and gasoline combination, the water molecules are restructured, releasing a great spurt of energy, resulting in a fifty percent decrease in the use of gasoline.

This method is especially beneficial to the engine because firstly, there are no carbon deposits and this enhances the performance of the engine to a great extent. The temperature is also lowered and less heat is emitted into the atmosphere. The engine also runs silently and most of its components enjoy a longer lease of life.

Running a car on water can be a cheap, eco-friendly and practical solution for many of the problems that we are facing in this world today.
