He he...good one...no it's because they're fewer and farther between.  But this one really resembles this one http://www.topspeed.com/cars/car-news/lexus-recall-hs250h-over-fuel-leak-ar92586.html

Nissan simply doesn't make top headline news like Toyota.

"The spillage occurred during rear end crash tests at 80 kilometres per hour where the vehicle also spun onto its side."

If that's the only occasion when fuel spillage occured, then I wouldn't worry.

 The Pinto???  ??? Puh-leeze.... The Cube apparently leaks fuel under a very specific set of rear-end collision parameters, a situation that Nissan will likely be able to rectify quite easily. The Pinto on the other hand exploded into flames if you tapped the rear bumper with a shopping cart.  ::)
