What Is It?
Nissan Redigo Concept
What's Special About It?
The Redigo (ready, go!) is purely a concept that stands little chance of making it to a showroom in your town. It is notable in that it attempts to offer open-air motoring for four occupants. The center of the roof is a thin crossmember with two slots on either side — think of it as the most massive T-top you've ever seen. The front-seat passenger is included in the driving experience as the gauge cluster in front of the driver is mirrored on the passenger side as well. All doors, seats and floor surfaces are water resistant.
The Redigo also includes a new e-memo feature that allows a person to write down directions on a thin, PDA-type device, then when inserted into the dash, the navigation system can offer the best route.
Mechanical features include an electronic four-wheel-drive system and a lightweight, four-cylinder engine that has been designed to fit into small spaces. The transmission is a CVT unit.
Why Should You Care?
While production is unlikely, the Redigo's durable interior, reconfigurable exterior and entertainment-oriented IT feature make it interesting. With the introduction of Honda's Element and Toyota's Scion line, the Redigo may offer a hint at what Nissan will offer in that segment. — Brian Moody
