Call it what you like, it’s a soccer-mom’s hauler, even whether it’s dressed to look like a middle-aged Honda Fit trying (and failing) to look younger and half its size. The Nissan Forum debuts at the universal Auto Show in Detroit just weeks from now. It shows that Nissan is still searching for a hit in the minivan category, though few public are courageous abundant to use that term any longer. that pursues on the heels of widely reported talks yesterday amidst Nissan and Chrysler for producing their cars under an O.E.M. agreement. Nissan is interested in Chrysler’s trucks and minivans. Chrysler is eyeing Nissan’s subcompacts.

In any case, the Forum features a two-seat second-row bench seat with motorized swiveling that can face forward or turn to face the third-row seats. When you open the doors at the rear–instant

tailgate party! The rear hatch formulates an exterior sound system. Cameras mounted in the headliner give the driver a view of the second- and third-row seats on the dash-mounted screen so as to monitor squabbling children or overly affectionate adolescents. And there’s a microwave in the center console, which is at least big adequate to cook a bag of popcorn.
