Apparently Nissan is developing a vehicle targeted towards the gamer crowd. It has an Xbox 360 built into it so you can play PGR 3 with the steering wheel and peddles of your vehicle. That's very innovative, however look at the design of this thing. I know its a concept but damn is it ugly.

Its getting there dont worry dude.

[Push Upstairs]

Just one question...

Why?

[Xizer]

That's rather...pointless.

[Niku-Sama]

thats good and all for pimpin with your tv screens in your modified card but to make one pre bulit and make it look like crak, i have a nissan...its an 87 and if i put any thing in it its gonna be a NES...

and nissan is japanese right, why are they using Sex Box 940? to bolster sales i bet and get them out of the country

[njiska]

That's rather...pointless.

Well as pointless as any other concept car.

Just one question...

Why?

I get that alot.



I just don't understand how its more pratical to buy a whole car to steer games when one could buy a steering wheel (eventually) or make thier own awesome "racing chair" for the price of the car.

Regardless, that is one slick looking little car. I'm sure it handles better than mine...I'd do a trade for that, so long as I don't have to put any cash towards it!

Between this car and all of the fuss about the PSP graffitti. Do you think marketing departments have been hit silly in the head?

I even saw sony giving the entire audience of The View free PSPs. Talking all about movie watching and web surfing and email, mentioning games a little.

I think these weird marketing ideas are going in the wrong directions and are the real reason that the companies, especially Microsoft are having difficulty turning a profit.

Ok, Nissan is not "developing" this vehicle.

It is a concept car, and it's designed to make people "ooooh" and "aaaaah", it will not see US streets.

Hopefully, the mechanical concepts behind the car will though. Front engine, rear-wheel-drive, high-revving engine, sequential gearbox, 2400lbs, and a $20k price target, along with Brembo Brakes sounds pretty good to me.

You know....if you're into that kind of thing

Sounds about right to me. I hate how everyone's taken the whole 'absurd humor' approach to their marketing. Half the time it's hard to tell whether you're watching a ATHF ripoff on Adult Swim or a tampon commercial.

the only response i can muster up is a laugh

Okay wait, so we can pretend to drive a car.... inside a real car
