Truth be told, this production-seeking car in this 90-second spot positive looks a lot like Nissan’s Sport Sedan Concept that we very first laid eyes on at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show. At the time, Nissan was adamant that we shouldn’t refer to the notion as the Maxima. Cheeky, Nissan. Go ahead, examine our Detroit images to the vehicle you see above.

Very first, the present Frontier has been kicking around for almost a decade, and it’s not a fantastic leap to think that this truck could influence the next Frontier. Second, GM is unleashing the new GMC Canyon/Chevy Colorado twins this year, and the buzz they’re producing indicates there’s nevertheless life in the smaller-pickup segment.

As for this international truck, the video reveals it to be anything but soft, as evidenced by the ladder frame building and strong rear axle with leaf-spring suspension. Nissan is truly playing up the durability aspect, too, claiming the truck has undergone a lot more than 1 million kilometers (621,372 miles) of testing in true-globe conditions and much more than 40,000 quality tests. Colour us intrigued.
