Nissan Fuga

What Is It?Nissan Fuga Concept

What's Special About It?Concept cars serve many purposes. Some are merely intended to get attention for a certain brand, others are a glimpse of a completely new styling direction an automaker is taking. The Fuga is neither and is probably remarkable because of just how unremarkable it is for a concept. This is a car that adopts Nissan's existing FM platform and incorporates technology like super HICAS four-wheel steering, Intelligent BrakeAssist and Vehicle Dynamics Control. It all adds up to a concept car that looks and sounds remarkably like a production car. With features like adaptive cruise control and four-wheel steering, it's unlikely this car would be sold under the Nissan brand here in America. That combined with the fact that the Fuga is a rear-wheel-drive sport/luxury sedan lead us to wonder if this isn't the next M45. It's long been known that the current M45 is nothing more than a Japan-market Nissan Gloria with some extra features thrown in — not that there's anything wrong with that. Still an all-new car would really propel Infiniti to the top of many luxury/sport buyers' shopping lists.

The Fuga boasts a tall but swoopy roof line and adds aluminum accents to both the roof and trunk. With the graceful C-pillar and abbreviated but stylish rear deck area, the Fuga has a bit of an upscale VW Passat look to it.

this one is called the redigo(ready, go!) and some info...

Nissan Redigo

What Is It?Nissan Redigo Concept

What's Special About It?The Redigo (ready, go!) is purely a concept that stands little chance of making it to a showroom in your town. It is notable in that it attempts to offer open-air motoring for four occupants. The center of the roof is a thin crossmember with two slots on either side — think of it as the most massive T-top you've ever seen. The front-seat passenger is included in the driving experience as the gauge cluster in front of the driver is mirrored on the passenger side as well. All doors, seats and floor surfaces are water resistant.

The Redigo also includes a new e-memo feature that allows a person to write down directions on a thin, PDA-type device, then when inserted into the dash, the navigation system can offer the best route.

Mechanical features include an electronic four-wheel-drive system and a lightweight, four-cylinder engine that has been designed to fit into small spaces. The transmission is a CVT unit

and the serenity...

Nissan Serenity Crossover

What Is It?Nissan Serenity Crossover Concept

What's Special About It?The very nature of crossover vehicles is that they attempt to offer much of what drivers need or want from more than one type of car all rolled into one convenient package. That being said, the Serenity is really trying to have it all. It is a blending of sport sedan and SUV not unlike the Nissan Murano, but the execution is more like the Cadillac SRX. Both the SRX and Serenity are much more carlike than the decidedly SUVish Murano but the Serenity looks to add a little comfort to the mix as well. The wide interior makes for spacious accommodations and like the Chrysler Pacifica the Serenity uses the available space to accommodate fewer people in a more comfortable manner. True to its name, the Serenity tries to combat the rigors of daily life (including commuting, we assume) by offering soft and pleasant design elements to the interior. The dash is roundish and flowing while the horizontal gauge cluster is placed at the highest point in the dash to minimize fatigue. Like many of today's production cars, the Serenity has steering wheel-mounted controls but this time they are large and easy to read.

The Serenity also presents what Nissan calls "cutting-edge IT features." That part doesn't sound so serene — too much technology is dizzying. However, that technology pays off through drive-by-wire systems that allow the shift lever and steering wheel to be adjusted with the driver seat affording for the ideal driving position.

The performance part of the equation comes in the form of Nissan's venerable 3.5-liter V6 engine. There's also a CVT transmission to make the most out of the car's motor.

We are not going to get them any time soon. And the reason is that American public will think that they are too radical. More over, now days they base there desisions on opinion of focus groups, which primaraly concists of females drivers.

I read something on car and drivers web site about the second one. here is the link to the car show

http://caranddriver.com/articl...=7321

second page, second car -

This luxury car concept is built off the acclaimed FM platform (Infiniti G35, Nissan 350Z), and attempts to increase both interior space and sportiness. This design presages the replacement for the Infiniti M45 sedan. A high roofline, outlined by chrome strips like those found on a stretch BMW 7-series, touches down well aft, leaving a short rear deck and loads of head room. The car features Super HICAS rear steering, a pre-crash safety system, a lane-keeping system (which will not likely appear in the U.S. any time soon), and adaptive

Why can't they just bring over the Nissan Cube Van. I'll even take it with the crappy 1.4 liter, its so cool.

I usually don't like concept cars, when they get closer to production they begin to look better.

I think the Fuga looks really good. I looks better than most all other new cars. Here are some better pictures of it. http://press.nissan-global.com/TOKYO_MO ... enity.html

Post by **D1SR240** » Sat Oct 25, 2003 4:33 pm

Post by **gema** » Sat Oct 25, 2003 4:33 pm

No, the Cube is decidely a Nissan minivan. The Scion is Toyota's American release (more or less) of the Vitz. Really..

Cube = NissanScion = Toyota

Both are awesome =D
