Nissan Prototype (Maxima, Altima???)
On my way home today I spotted a Nissan prototype of some sort. It was the size of a Maxima or Altima. I'm guessin Altima. Couldn't get any pics of the front, not that it was pretty anyway.

I thought the Bangle rear was old news.....Nissan playing catch-up?

...and Sly....#1 stop running your engine "in a vacuum" there is a reason for boost!!!
#2 Indian Hill........what are you trying to tell us.

For most of the morning I wasn't running in vacuum.

Didn't even realize the exit I was near.

Front emblem was missing on it like most other prototypes to keep people from knowing what it is.
