Is this a new Nissan or a foreign one?

Was driving in lower manhattan with my girlfriend, and spotted this very strange nissan that ive never seen before. The name started with an "a" and is on the back of the car as you can see.

Snapped it with my VX6000 but the picture quality, especially at night isnt very good.

Judging by the taillights and the boxy design can anyone make out what that is?

Damn what are the odds some other "loser" who can't sleep at this hour, stared at the grainy photo, searched Nissan world wide for a similar name (and taillights,) and came up with the same thing.

It's like they all sit in a little room and say "How ugly can we make a van and how many idiots will buy it".

That can be annyoing with the sun bearing down on you on a hot day. Even if the window is tinted, what if you want to block out the sun completely?
