Although this year, the upcoming redesign of one such model is focusing more on the auto's visual impact, rather than its street performance.

Every year the industry's event show season brings exciting debuts of new Nissan models and technologies. As auto enthusiasts know, this year was no exception.

Several auto brands have been working rather hard lately to craft the perfect new, production-ready fuel cell vehicle. Of course, our favorite Japanese auto brand Nissan is among this group, and it even has goals to release one of these vehicles to the public by 2017. The brand will have a bit of help to reach its goal, as it has joined forces with Ford and Daimler to share resources. Rumor has it that Toyota and BMW have also come together for a similar project.

Recently, our favorite Japanese auto brand, Nissan, announced it would be taking a risk to restore a beloved brand that hit some roadblocks: Datsun.

To start, Datsun vehicles will be sold in Indonesia, Russia, and India.

Visitors to future Nissan booths at auto shows may have quite a different experience than they would normally have at an auto booth. It seems that the brand has decided to offer its own signature fragrances to inspire memories, a comfortable environment, and a pleasant ready-to-buy attitude.
