http://movie.diginfo.tv DigInfo News At the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show, Nissan exhibited the Round Box, a compact convertible concept car. "The concept of this car came from the fact that younger people nowadays are losing interest in cars, so we wanted to propose a new type of car. For younger people recently, they place the most value in things such as friends, mobile phones, games and varied personal experiences doing a wide range of things. Then we thought how do we implement these concepts in a car, so we started by thinking that young people consider their friends important, so we're giving them equal seating space and similarly-designed seats and surround them in a large cabin so they can spend their time comfortably." The exterior combines an open upper cabin area with a rugged lower body, with tires placed in the corners of the vehicle, maximizing interior space and enhancing stability. There is also a three-section removable roof panel which can be stored in the trunk. The four-seater is powered by a turbocharged direct injection gas engine linked to Nissan's proprietary CVT (continuously variable transmission) called Extronic CVT. The Round Box has an interactive system called Play Catch, which allows the driver and other passengers to share driving information as well as entertainment information. As the navigation screen in the instrument panel is linked to the touch screen in the center of the vehicle, passengers can search for shops or restaurants and send the driving route and instructions to the drivers monitor. The Around View Monitor uses wide-angle cameras mounted on the exterior to give the driver a bird's-eye view of the outside of the vehicle. The Round Box is 3.65 meters long, 1.75 meters wide, 1.53 meters tall, and its wheel base is 2.43 meters.

@yaoi1yummy lmfao you mad faggot? need a tampon to fill that pussy of yours so youll stop crying. Hey retard no matter who is raising the prices, that still does not give them the right to trash and blame young people for their fuck ups. The less the price, the more people ( YOUNG KIDS ) will buy cars. Nuff said

I don't think I would like this. Kids already have enough distractions these days with cell phones and I think this would only make things worse.

@Mr9000and1 @Mr9000and1 TOKYO, Aug 23 (AFP): Young Japanese are rapidly losing interest in cars and drinking and choosing instead to save their money, a survey said yesterday. The Nikkei business daily, which surveyed 1,207 people in their 20s who live in the Tokyo area, said that only 25.3 wanted a car-half the 48.2 per cent in a similar poll in 2000.

More crashes?

woo I'm totally going to look at that dashboard when i'm driving I'll check my facebook youtube, and make sure my healthcare covers my injuries!!

From the front looks like a grouper fish. from the side looks one of the new Renault Scenics. Appealing to younger drivers, I don't think so.

im pretty sure the general consensus is that the "younger" drivers interests lie in the older, more affordable cars. also i think all new (mid priced) cars these days are slowly conforming to one shape. looks like a boring new era for car aesthetics..
