Frankfurt Motor Show 2007

The Nissan Mixim is Nissan’s attempt to convince the new generation that it can pull some tricks they like, too. So Nissan gave them scissor doors, a 1+2 configuration seating with the driver sitting in a central position, LCD panel that displays graphical wheels turning… you know, the stuff that gets kids who grew up on the Interwebs all excited. Or the X-box junkies. Or the Playstation Pandoras. Or someone like that - you can see that I am getting confused. Fact is, that is a weird generation for whom weird is normal - and so probably this is what they want. Who am I to say that the Mixim is weird? Weird is normal.

The little electric car is of course a concept. So Nissan could do much with the Mixim. So the motor of the electric car is powered by Lithium Ion batteries, as in the Tesla Roadster. The Nissan Mixim has aclaimed 145 mile range between charges. That of course, means nothing - it’s a concept, people! So don’t bother with the details.

Fact is, all these concepts are going to be real in a while. But that might be some 4-5 years down the line. When the teenager who got all excited by the gee-wiz Mixim today would be world weary zombie who needs something bigger.Sorry, you wanted to see the video clip of the Nissan Mixim, right? This is something like a promo, so take it the way you will.
