2009 Detroit Show Preview: Nissan to show commercial trucks at Detroit

Nissan 2011hdpickup260.jpg

Ummm... Not sure about this illustration. It's soooo far from what we've come to expect from Nissan. It has none of the current Nissan truck styling cues, especially from the front. Plus for a HD truck, it's not very macho looking. Then again, that's not a primary concern as commercial customers are more interested in what the vehicle can do, and for how little in terms of $$$.

At any rate, Nissan is reportedly going to show a heavy-duty pickup, a full-size van, and a smaller van at the upcoming Detroit Auto Show.

Full story here.

Wow, and I thought that was an updated X-Trail, their compact crossover!

That's a ridiculous illustration. I'm interested in their vans, though.

That illustration is even proportionally and spatially challenged. That truck is bent.

I thought Nissan was transitioning to a badge-engineered Dodge Ram for the Titan? How can they move into the higher cost to produce, lower volume of HD trucks? Will it be on a Dodge platform?

This looks nothing like the Dodge Ram.

They want to market this Lincoln LT as a commercial vehicle? Oh well, it worked for GMC.
