Photo Gallery: Nissan Forum Minivan Concept
Monday February 25, 2008
While some have been predicting the demise of the minivan for years, the minivan segment has actually seen some significant introductions over the last few months. The 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan and Chrysler Town & Country have been released, the 2009 VW Routan has been unveiled, and many automakers have been hard at work on very minivan-esque concept vehicles.
That's definitely the case with Nissan and their Forum Minivan Concept, which was shown earlier this year at the 2008 Detroit Auto Show. About.com Trucks Guide Dale Wickell grabbed these pictures when he was at the event, and I've posted them in a gallery for you to peruse.
From the huge sliding doors that reveal a cavernous interior to sleek, modern exterior design, the Forum is evidence that automakers haven't given up on the minivan yet. Need more proof? Toyota has their FT-MV minivan concept, and I'm sure we'll be seeing more concepts in the year ahead.
