The concept is all about interaction, be it with the surroundings or other occupants, with a "right sized" cabin that allows easy communication inside and "road surface windows" that show the tarmac rolling beneath.<br /><br />The styling is far from conventional, with its platypus-meets-Zed front clip, deep swage lines and upright rear playing nicely with the pushed out wheels and flared fenders.<br /><br />We'll be sure to snap off a ton of photos while we're in Japan, but in the meantime, check out the gallery below and Nissan's press release after the jump.<br /><br /><div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/round-box-r-d-b-x">Nissan Round Box (R.D/B.X)</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/round-box-r-d-b-x/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2007/10/aaa_nissan_roundbox_tokyo001_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/round-box-r-d-b-x/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2007/10/aaa_nissan_roundbox_tokyo002_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/round-box-r-d-b-x/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2007/10/aaa_nissan_roundbox_tokyo003_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/round-box-r-d-b-x/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2007/10/aaa_nissan_roundbox_tokyo004_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/round-box-r-d-b-x/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2007/10/aaa_nissan_roundbox_tokyo005_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/10/tokyo-2007-preview-nissan-round-box-r-d-b-x-concept/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Tokyo 2007 Preview: Nissan Round Box (R.D/B.X) concept</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/10/tokyo-2007-preview-nissan-round-box-r-d-b-x-concept/">Tokyo 2007 Preview: Nissan Round Box (R.D/B.X) concept</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblog</a> on Wed, 10 Oct 2007 03:57:00 EST.
