NISSAN RELEASES NEW PRESAGE FOR JAPAN

TOKYO (May 29, 2006)—The new Presage minivan goes on sale in Japan today featuring enhancements to its exterior and interior.

The new Presage, which is available with a 2.5- or 3.5-liter engine, features design changes to its grille, front and rear bumpers, headlamps, hood panel and front fender that give it a more sophisticated and dynamic appearance.

Changes to the interior include separate, constantly lit instrument-panel gauges, illuminated AT-shift position indicators and silver-colored paneling on the center cluster. The Presage also features a wood-grain trim on the instrument panel and an illuminated vanity mirror. The overall result is a more elegant-looking interior.

The new Presage is available in five additional new colors including Deep Cassis, Lunar Blue and Iron.

The new Presage has been equipped with a rear-view monitor with wider scope and a blind-spot monitor with better night vision. The blind-spot monitor also allows the driver to switch between a side view and a rear view when reversing.

Sales target: 1,800 units/month
Price range: 2,404,500 yen to 3,024,000 yen

Looks nice - kinda looks like the Mazda 5.

Much nicer than the silly and overstyled Quest.

I like how they are using the same style headlights for the M35, upcoming G35 Coupe/Sedan, and now a JDM Van.
