Full press release and tons of photos here: http://www.seriouswheels.com/cars/2007/top-2007-Nissan-Mixim-Concept.htm





(from Nissan Press Release) (my comments italicized) The Mixim concept car is a compact vehicle for young drivers who are mostly engaged by their computer and the world via the internet. That's bad.  The driver sits centrally, with two seats either side, while the steering wheel and controls are inspired by the interfaces so familiar to computer gamers.  Interesting idea, also a bad idea.

Powered by Nissan?s ?Super Motor? electric motor/generator and using compact lithium-ion batteries, Mixim has unusually rapid performance combined with a usefully extended range. One Super Motor powers the front axle and a second drives the rear axle, giving Mixim all-wheel drive.  Oooh, another ultra-efficient electric car ruined by a heavy drivetrain design.

Mixim takes the most up-to-date electric vehicle (EV) technology and clothes it in a svelte and distinctive coup? shape.Um, no?
Def: Svelte: /svɛlt, sfɛlt/
?adjective, svelt?er, svelt?est.
1.   slender, esp. gracefully slender in figure; lithe.
2.   suave; blandly urbane.


Despite being a concept car with no guarantee of being turned into a series production model, Oh, good.  Mixim?s development is in line with the Nissan Green Program, the company?s publicly stated desire to create a more sustainable mobile society. And society says "bah."

The dash looks like something out of Star Wars or Trek.

looks more like a sine function to me  :lol:
"On a given day, a given circumstance, you think you have a limit. And you then go for this limit and you touch this limit, and you think, 'Okay, this is the limit'. And so you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further. With your mind power, your determination, your instinct, and the experience as well, you can fly very high." - Ayrton Senna

Eddie you nerd, I was just about to say the same thing. :lol:

Looks like someone ripped the interior out of Knightrider's KITT.

Naww, I don't think the Mixim can be called the "worst ever."

That thing looks like it should have a Jawa driving it.

Well, maybe not.  But it's up there.

It has a nice silhouette.  Needs a complete restyle though.
