    What Is It?
    Infiniti Triant

    What's Special About It?
    The Triant is intended mainly as a concept that "captures the spirit of Infiniti…." The look is like that of a G35 Coupe with a case of Jolt Cola added. Overall the Triant seems redundant with the FX45 already in production. Several innovative features which may make it into future Nissan and Infiniti cars include headlights that turn with the car (didn't the Tucker have this feature over 50 years ago?), gullwing doors with sensors (so they won't bump into stuff), slightly reconfigurable interior and voice-activated cockpit systems. Seats are mounted on small shock absorbers and are made of a carbon-fiber shell.

    The Triant uses Nissan's tried-and-true VQ series, 3.5-liter V6 and offers a five-speed automatic transmission. While the Triant rides on 19-inch wheels, the suspension can be adjusted up to two inches.

    Why Should You Care?
    The Triant does offer a few innovative features, but overall this is ground the Murano and FX45 seem to already be covering. — Brian Moody
