Back in October, Nissan released an exterior sketch of the Forum Concept, which will debut in January at the 2008 Detroit Auto Show. The Forum Concept is basically a combination wagon, minivan, hatchback and CUV. To be more precise, it's a "family hauler" or "people mover". Following up on the exterior sketch, Nissan released a new sketch today of the concept's interior. It's a typical concept interior, about halfway between total pie-in-the-sky feasibility and possible production. Nissan tells us in its press release that the inner sanctum of the Forum will include a Bose Media System that's operated with a proximity sensor-based controller, which we take to mean that you can wave your hand in front of the stereo and Neil Diamond will begin playing on queue. There are also 2nd- and 3rd-row cameras so moms and pops can keep a digital eye on their yungins, as well as individual seat-mounted speakers for each row. We're not sure whether or not the Forum itself portends a future Nissan product, or possibly a replacement or redesign for the Quest minivan, though it sure could use it.

finally Nissan has fixed that ugl;y steering wheel design. it shows in the new murano as well.
if that is the interior of their minivan, might actually prove to be very nice.
they should carry this steering design to the Altima and Maxima

Clean design lines for Nissan Forum Concept. Nice digital instrument panels, soft illuminating lights, three tone color interior and etc. The exterior sketch drawning looks well designed.
List of entertainment/communication systems-options are noticable. It will be interesting to see how it performs.
