Nissan URGE Concept will debut at NAIAS
This concept car was created by Nissan Design America as a pure sports car. The URGE features motorcycle-inspired
styling (cycle fenders, free-standing taillights), and a door treatment reminiscent of the
Citroen C-Airplay. The rear wheel drive car is motivated
by a "quick, high-revving, small-displacement engine" through a six-speed gearbox. The body is done in aluminum, and
wrapped around a "driver-oriented cockpit with an integrated Xbox 360 gaming system."
Hopefully the driving and game playing don't go on at the same time.

May be the only way to get a 360.

I find it interesting that Nissan has a concept car Named "Urge" with a Microsoft product inside, when I just read today that Microsoft and MTV are joining forces to produce a product called "Urge" that will compete with ITunes. http://www.toptechnews.com/story.xhtml?story_id=40175

Auto journalist Jeff Koch was invited into the studio to photograph the Urge; he's working for Hemmings & the shoot will be in Hemmings Sports & Exotic Car #6, which should be out around the new year.

VehicleVoice (http://blog.vehiclevoice.com) editors posted their take on the Urge, another interesting coupe concept from Nissan following the Actic and Azeal from previous show years. It seems like carmakers always are trying to capture attention with coupe-like vehicles - a car-type that has seen sales deteriorating for twenty years. Is it just an ego thing? Does every senior manager at a car company need to have a coupe in their portfolio even if it doesn't sell?
