2005 Detroit Auto Show Coverage


The first concept car created at the new Nissan Design America, Inc. studios in Farmington Hills, Michigan, Nissan's Azeal coupe concept is themed to prove the point that "an entry-level car doesn't have to look entry level." Aiming to be a fresh interpretation of the "pocket rocket," Nissan touts the Azeal as an affordable, high-performance entry-level coupe with an emphasis on personality and aggressive styling, and demonstrates that theory with dramatic architecture that combines square forms with round corners, 19-inch machined-and-painted alloy wheels, and a driver-oriented cockpit with retractable navigation screen. Liquid Titanium paint and "Mohawk" center roof panel add to its visual intensity.
