Hints at 2010 entry into commercial truck market

Nissan's got big news coming at the Detroit Auto Show. Literally--the NV2500 concept truck, for which teaser photos have just been released, is the largest concept vehicle ever built by the Japanese manufacturer.  The vehicle explores "multi-purpose utility solutions in the real world."

More importantly, the NV2500 is a harbinger of Nissan's entry into the commercial truck market in 2010. Rumors that Nissan is pulling out of the full-size truck market are clearly in error. The photos show a full-size, long-nosed panel van like the ones Ford and Chevrolet used to build in the 1950s and ‘60s. The NV2500's powerful-looking front sheet metal may be a harbinger of an upcoming redesign for the Titan and Armada full-size trucks as well.

I was thinking more of a Dump truck. By that I mean a truck that is meant to be in the dump.

Suddenly the Chevy Express van and four-times-facelifted Ford E-series van look, um, stylish. Well, um, no. But do all vans have to be look like the mutated vehicles you see at the airport? Why is the face sliding off the front of this thing?

This things is like the Nissan Cube took steriods and went through deformation due to a nuclear accident...but for some reason it still looks pretty cool. Can't we see what the interior looks like???
