Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Nissan can do much better than this. Sometimes I wonder whether they are in tune with ground realities or not. Apart from the X-trail launch, they could have given this show a miss and saved the moolah. Seeing the cricket editions, I can imagine my neighborhood kid gang adding to the autographs within a week!

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Is this the best foot forward from Nissan...:Frustrate Except the GT-R, which is not for any normal masses (only targeted at rich kids), nothing else is really making any statement about Nissan's plans for India in coming future. Just kitted up existing models won't qualify as concepts. In fact just different paint scheme/graphics won't even qualify to be facelift version. Nissan has totally lost the plot in Indian market and seem to be least bothered to strategize any revival plans. |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Disappointed with Nissan's products showcasing!! Though GT-R is super exciting, is not a mass product and petrol only X-Trail without any major differentiation or edge over already well settled competitors like Fortuner, Santa Fe - I am puzzled with Nissan's direction. I own a Terrano, its a beautful SUV. I was hoping to see something new, something refreshing, but Terrano Concept looks like a mod done at a local garage. Black, white and orange theme and autographs on hood of special edition release - really couldn't digest. Nissan is an automobile giant internationally, I am sure they know these things, then why they are not serious about Indian market? ![]() |

| ![]() That Nissan Terrano deserves to be called Nissan TERROR! What a cruelty to the good looking SUV, it sure didn't deserve such treatment. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Except for the super car CBUs Nissan doesn't seem to have anything new for the Indian market except for the X-Trail. Very sad to see this from a capable manufacturer. As rightly said the cricket edition does look like it has gone past its age when we had the Palio Tendulkar edition and sort. Not sure if anyone would like to buy a car and keep it for a long time with decals of a particular tournament. A subtle badging would have done the job. Anyways looks like they have "run out" of ideas like the gaudy Terrano on display. |
