The Nissan Cube plays a key appearance and part at the 40th Annual Comic-Con Convention together with NBC’s Heroes, hosting a series of events as well like sweepstakes and providing giveaways to onlookers at the NBC Heroes booth.

The partnership allows most comic book and automotive fans to catch a glimpse of the Nissan Cube. This includes the asymmetrical design as well as standard features that include the Bluetooth Hands-free Phone System and the interior accent-lighting system that comes in 20 different shades.

Clips from Heroes featuring the Nissan cube will be broadcast on a massive plasma screen – demonstrating that boxes don’t always have to be square. Now that is something that Nissan may easily attach to the Nissan Cube or can be perhaps a marketing cliché in the coming months.
