The new Nissan Qazana concept is perceived to be a sportscar/offroader, but it instead resembles a softroader, a giant puffball rover. And what about that name, Qazana? I’m sure it means something cool in Swaziland or Suessville.
The Nissan Qazana design team says they were influenced by beach- and dune-buggies. The fact that it looks nothing like a buggy seems to be lost on them. The interior is sweet, with the suicide doors for the back to give the appearance of mega-space inside.
