I'll bring you updates as they come in. If anyone wants to know where I get all this info from (maybe you haven't been paying attention ;) ), most of it comes from Autoblog, who...also get's the info from other online sources. For every car I'll bring you one pic and some info.
The 40th Tokyo Motor Show isn't until Friday the 26th, but previews are plenty. Keep in mind this is THE show where the GTR will finally be unveiled in production form. We'll also see the official debuted of the STI and EVO. But of course this is Tokyo, so we HAVE to expect some crazy futuristic designs. First round is Nissan. Here we go:
Nissan NV200
The NV200 is aimed at small business professionals that are constantly on the move, and although the boxy, panel van exterior doesn't do much for the eyes, it's what's on the inside that counts.
The interior is a rolling job site, with everything from equipment-specific storage to a full computer workstation. This particular model is supposedly built for a professional oceanic photographer, with all the gear and toys necessary to make that hard existence livable.

Nissan Round Box (R.D/B.X)
Sure, the name "Round Box" might be oxymoronic, but Nissan's take on open-air motoring in the 21st century more than makes up for it's odd nomenclature. The concept is all about interaction, be it with the surroundings or other occupants, with a "right sized" cabin that allows easy communication inside and "road surface windows" that show the tarmac rolling beneath.
The styling is far from conventional, with its platypus-meets-Zed front clip, deep swage lines and upright rear playing nicely with the pushed out wheels and flared fenders.

Nissan Intima
Among the concepts from Nissan set to debut in Tokyo, the Intima may be the closest thing to a production-ready vehicle we'll see. With an emphasis on Nissan's "Modern Living" design theme, both the interior and exterior benefit from a high-class aesthetic that mates clean styling with luxurious appointments, right down to the matching toiletry set included inside.
The exterior styling takes all the familiar Nissan design cues and stretches them across acres of sheet metal, from the headlamps to the windshield. Inside, Nissan touts an eclectic mix of highly stylized components, including a front passenger seat that swivels 80-degrees to allow better ingress and egress.
