    The Detroit Auto Show is just around the corner and more automakers are releasing some information about what they will be presenting. This time it's Nissan saying they will be showing off two concepts.

    Concept #1 is the Pathfinder. Nissan says the concept will inspire the next-generation Pathfinder's styling before the it goes on sale later next year. The rumorpile has the next Pathfinder dropping it's body-on-frame architecture and going towards a unibody architecture.

    Concept #2 is a all-electric van that Nissan says is suitable for both families and businesses. The van concept previews a production model, possibly from Nissan's NV vans.

    NISSAN ANNOUNCES PLANS FOR 2012 NORTH AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL AUTO SHOW

    The worldwide debut of two concept vehicles will highlight Nissan's presence at the upcoming 2012 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit. An all electric van concept, which underscores Nissan's leadership in zero emissions vehicles and the Nissan Pathfinder preview concept, which provides a sneak peek at the next generation of Nissan's longest running nameplate in the U.S., will be unveiled during the NAIAS press preview days, beginning Monday, January 9.

    In addition to full access to Nissan's global concepts during both days of the show, media interviews will be available with Nissan team members. Nissan Chief Executive Officer, Carlos Ghosn will also be the opening keynote speaker at the Automotive News World Congress on Tuesday, Jan. 10 in Detroit.

    Nissan NAIAS Highlights:

    - The Pathfinder Concept, which previews the all-new look, style and attitude that Nissan will bring to the SUV segment when the next-generation Pathfinder goes on sale in fall 2012 at Nissan dealers nationwide.

    - Nissan's innovative electric van concept. This concept previews a future production version of a full electric vehicle designed to provide businesses or families with flexible, roomy cargo space, while offering a dramatic CO2 footprint reduction.

    - A Nissan NV outfitted as a "Food Truck" with a local Detroit flair showcases the vehicle's flexibility and user-friendly features, but acts as a culinary cornerstone for media hospitality throughout both press days.

    • Yes Genesis is not as high as they were in 2017 for the G90, but they have been slowly climbing the last 3 years, so we will see how it goes. I think breaking it out as a stand alone luxury division is a smart move. https://carfigures.com/us-market-brand/genesis/g90 Yet if you look at U.S. total sales of all models, Genesis has continued to increase in sales each year. Genesis | US Market Brands | CarFigures It is not a sprint, but a marathon of luxury quality autos.
    • Here's the problem, the G90 doesn't sell, and coupes and convertibles don't sell, combing both would be a disaster.   If they did a mid-size car maybe they would have a chance, but maybe they feel like the 4-series and CLE already kind of took that space away. And Cadillac for sure needs to do a coupe version of whatever replaces the CT5.  I think if you took a Lyriq drivetrain and throw a coupe body on that for $70-80k range they have a winner.
    • Seems Hyundai / Genesis is making sure prices stay stable to keep sales going: Hyundai Launches Customer Assurance to Maintain Current Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price - Hyundai Newsroom Hyundai will not raise MSRP for its current model lineup for the next two months, starting today until June 2, 2025 GENESIS CARES INITIATIVE TO MAINTAIN MANUFACTURER'S SUGGESTED RETAIL PRICE FOR THE NEXT TWO MONTHS - Genesis Newsroom This initiative ensures that customers who purchase or lease any new Genesis vehicle between today and June 2, 2025, will see no increase in the Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP)[i] during the protection window. Regardless of market conditions, customers will have peace of mind knowing that MSRP will not increase, providing financial reassurance and the time to make the right choice for their transportation needs.
    • Just not good enough at being a motor vehicle period...just hideous, shoddily built chod.. 
    • The M8 coupe looks so much like a Mustang in profile...  I like the previous M6 Gran Coupe from about 10 years ago..   It's too bad Cadillac doesn't have a coupe and 4 seat convertible...something small based off the CT4 and/or a midsize CT5 based one would be great.    I wish GM had built a production version of the gorgeous El Miraj concept.
