All Cars, All the Time

Nissan Urge




One of the Urge's big "highlights" is a fully intgegrated X-Box. In a sporty car like this? Doesn't that seem out of place? Aren't X-Box's for Hummers and Suburbans? I thought that gaming systems were there to dull the pain of a long car ride. What do I know, right? Well, I don't find this car to particularly sexy and that's the bottom line. I don't think putting an X-Box 360 inside this puppy is going to make me do a 180...Awww, c'mon. It's early. No props for that? Here is Nissan's official spiel:

With the Urge, the team who created it started out by tapping into the wants and needs of America's so-called Echo Boomer generation (born roughly 1976-1996). Through an online survey, Nissan found out that many of these "gamers" wanted a car compatible with the cellphones, mp3 players and videogames they use in everyday life. They also wanted a cool-looking car that's quick, affordable, exciting and flexible enough to take along a couple of friends.

I just hope that Mazda's Kabura will live up to it's hype. Fingers crossed.
