It's not a Citroën, and not in any way related.

A concept/prototype for the 2007 Nissan Bluebird Sylphy?

Oh, you're close. But the answer is easier than that :)

My guess: It is the winning design proposal for the newest version of Nissan Bluebird.

Still easier :)

Nissan Primera?

Post by: @re on July 03, 2008, 09:09:54 PM
Congratulations! It's as simple as that - this is an alternative design proposal for the current Nissan Primera, proposed as early as 1998. The point goes to jimjarron, who managed to keep it easy :)

Primera? Easy? It doesn't look as a Primera in any way, but it looks very much as the current Nissan Bluebird Sylphy:

And current Primera? Primera is no longer in production. The production was ended in 2007.

I didn't mean it was easy to identify - I meant that the Primera name is more well-known than the Bluebird Sylphy name and therefore easier to guess. I agree that it looks much more like the Bluebird Sylphy, but after all that isn't very strange - the designers probably abandoned that look for a Primera replacement, but decided that it did look quite nice anyway, and went for that design on another car.

As for the Primera not being produced anymore: Wikipedia states that it is still produced for export markets, and probably will be until there is a replacement for the Primera near the end of this decade. I realise that this is not the world's most reliable source, so if it isn't correct, I'm sorry.

This car still is a 1998 prototype for the latest Primera, anyway  :)
