Nissan Intima Teana brochure leaked out

Click above for a gallery of the Nissan Teana brochure.
The Scoopers of Cars have gotten their hands on a scanned brochure of the production version of the Nissan Intima concept, and it seems that in addition to getting a mass-market makeover, it will also be sporting a Teana badge when it goes on sale in Japan. The transition from concept to production has been uncharacteristically kind to the Teana, with the tightly drawn headlamps, plummeting C-pillar and elongated tail lamps surviving, but the suicide doors and 22nd century interior must have been scrapped due to feasibility issues. We'll get our first official taste of the Teana when it's finally revealed on April 20th at the Beijing Motor Show.

Wow.
I guess good design isn't key to breaking into the Chinese market.

I'm sure Nissan will think hard and long before bringing this car stateside, as it would most likely affect M35/M45 sales numbers.

IMO, the concept was stunning but this is just... ordinary. They should've tried to keep the front true to the concept with the two piece headlights instead of these giant ones. I knew the suicide doors would probably never make production but I was kinda hoping they would have.

I thought the concept was unbelievably ugly, but wow, this is just ugly on a different level.

looks like this car will continue the recently started tradition of asian automakers creating designs with lamps that stick out of the body; seems so out of place to me on hondas, toyotas, nissans... :/

Wow, so Nissan is sticking with the whole "Fugly" design thing, huh.
Please god, don't let them ruin the 370Z, please...

The Z seems to track the Maxima' styling.
Make of that what you will.

The concept worked because of the elongated front and rear overhangs... but with the production model they just chopped the front and rear short, completely removing the 'flow' to the design and making it look extremely stubby.
This is really disappointing.

The 'it's ugly' opinion has been addressed by many others, I'm just going to agree with them.

Man, that is the mother of all water-downs.
The Intima was swoopy, classy, and looked expensive.
The Teana looks like not much.
That's fine because we'll never see it in N. America. Where would it slot in the Nissan/Infiniti line? Could it be a new I37? That would be a stretch and doesn't really fit in the Infiniti philosophy.

in the tradition of stating a car looks like other cars...
it looks like nissan went into their own parts bin. to me this looks
like a homologation of maxima, G and altima.
oh and agreeing with everybody else, it looks like they took the
parts of the maxima, G and altima that i already didn't like.

Is it just me - or is anyone else getting a little sick of this front end - lack of imagination design from Nissan

i thought the concept looked pretty decent, but this production version SUCKS, and the raised up body- gross, terrible stuff
