From Concept To Reality

Gobsmackingly gorgeous

This is the Nissan Sport Concept and - as its name implies - it’s a concept vehicle which Nissan unveiled at the New York International Auto Show in 2005. It also made an appearance at last year’s Kuala Lumpur International Motor Show 2006 (KLIMS).

It’s quite an impressive-looking piece of kit, wouldn’t you say?

However, unlike many other concept cars that never actually make it past the prototype stage, Nissan actually went on to flesh out this concept into a street car. The result is the Nissan Latio Sport, which - surprise! - also happens to be my spanking new set of wheels. Yesssss!

Compare some shots of the Sport Concept below against the Latio Sport. The family resemblance is unmistakable.  

Check it out, dudes (thumbnails are clickable).

Ji Jian: LOL! If it could, I'll take Starscream :P

Btw, that movie started in style but ended up limping to the finish line. Classy SFX for the most part, but the plotting was too weak and the movie running time was just too long.

babe_kl: Tenkiu, tenkiu...! :D Can buy one for hubby, too!

You didn't need a new car leh. You just wanted something to showoff :p
Yupz, I am impressed with the cup-holders and I wouldn't mind being seen zipping around with it.
VERY happy for you!

Hullo, dude, why stop at the Latio, should have done a gumball & sold the house, furniture et al & gone fer the 350Z!!!

For the 350Z, I would have had to sell house, furniture, AND one of my three children... the wife didn't agree to that so we settled on just the Latio...
