Alice in Borderland S2 Ep1 | Car Chase Scene. The chase, through the streets of Tokyo, is between a Toyota Crown Super Saloon M65 (M60 pictured) and a Nissan President Sovereign V8. Sadly both cars, and particularly the Toyota, would appear to have been seriously damaged

NISSAN President 
Though initially developed to serve as the official limousine of Japan’s Imperial family, Nissan’s president was instead relegated to carting about mere prime ministers. Visiting dignitaries, industry titans, celebrity entertainers, and high ranking yakuza were other common President passengers.Though the President was introduced two years earlier than the similarly prestigious Toyota Century of 1967, that car was derived from Toyota’s Crown Eight of 1964. Arguably, both marques deserve equal credit for pioneering exclusive, V8-powered, Japanese domestic market luxury vehicles.

WASHINGTON, Nov 29 (Reuters) - The United Auto Workers union said on Wednesday it is launching a first-of-its-kind push to publicly organize the entire nonunion auto sector in the U.S. after winning new contracts with the Detroit Three automakers. The Detroit-based UAW said workers at 13 nonunion automakers were announcing simultaneous campaigns across the country to join the union, including at Tesla (TSLA.O), Toyota (7203.T), Volkswagen (VOWG_p.DE), Hyundai (005380.KS), Rivian (RIVN.O), Nissan (7201.T), BMW (BMWG.DE) and Mercedes-Benz (MBGn.DE). Those automakers employ nearly 150,000 workers at their U.S. assembly plants, about the same number as those employed by the Detroit Three companies with which the UAW just signed new labor agreements, the union said. "To all the auto workers out there working without the benefits of a union, now it's your turn," UAW President Shawn Fain said in a video posted on a website urging auto workers to sign electronic cards seeking union representation. "The money is there. The time is right," he added. "You don’t have to worry about how you’re going to pay your rent or feed your family while the company makes billions. A better life is out there."

UAW president Shawn Fain has said that he plans to organise more than two dozen additional auto plants across the southern US, including a Toyota plant in Missouri and a Nissan one in Mississippi. “Southern workers are ready to stand up and win a better life,” Kelcey Smith, a worker in the paint department at Volkswagen Chattanooga, said in a statement.

Nissan Reveals Concept 20-23 Show Car
To celebrate the 20th anniversary of Nissan Design Europe (NDE) being located in London, Makoto Uchida, Nissan’s President and Chief Executive Officer, visited NDE to unveil an all-new sporty urban electric concept car called Nissan Concept 20-23.
The Concept 20-23 name reflects 20 years of NDE’s position in the heart of London, as well as the company’s traditional number 2 (ni) 3 (san) and the current year. It also continues a long Nissan tradition of bringing eye-catching playfulness to the world of hatchbacks and city cars. With the heritage of Nissan’s so-called Pike cars, such as the Be-1, Pao, Figaro and S-Cargo, Concept 20-23 brings a 21st century twist to this small-car tradition.

1989 Nissan President Hearse

Nissan Presidents imported to the United States are generally absolute lookers, and this one is no exception. Asking price $10500.

With pristine exterior and interior, this hearse is sure to catch eyes and win hearts with its beautifully decorated rear section and mint condition interior.
Tumblr media
Though thoroughly un-aerodynamic, note the craftsmanship on the roof and corner carvings.

Nissan Leopard J.Ferie Concept, 1991. A prototype for the 3rd generation Y32 Leopard that was designed by Jerry Hirshberg, president of Nissan Design International (NDI). Presented at the 29th Tokyo Motor Show it was marketed as the Infiniti J30 in the US. Sales in both markets were disappointing in part because of the car's styling but also because the styling compromised the car's interior space which was less than the smaller Sunny.

Ferrari GG50 by Giorgetto Giugiaro 
Concept cars are usually made before those who go straight into production. That is the reason why they are called so. Concepts do not limit the imagination of designers, but when the car comes into production, engineers take a more important role. As a result, a lovely concept of a car can sometimes become an ugly duck.However, that is the case about Hyundai, Nissan, Opel and other manufacturers that are producing millions of cars per year. It does not include the exclusive ones – Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, etc.This is a story about a car which life has been turned upside down. The production model came at first and the concept was shown off just a year after. This is a story about Ferrari GG50 – the concept car that Giorgetto Giugiaro made himself in 2005 while celebrating the 50th anniversary of creating stunning car designs.
The GG50 is based on Ferrari 612 Scaglietti series production car  – a four-seater with a front engine and rear wheel drive - a true Italian prancing horse. It has a twelve-cylinder, 5,7-liter engine under the hood, which generates 540 bhp and 588 Nm. At the time, turbochargers became extremely popular, but Ferrari tried to remain as traditional as possible. However, most engines manufactured in Modena were still highly revolutionary.
Like the original 612 Scaglietti, the following concept has the same 6-speed sequential rear-mounted gearbox, Brembo brakes, and other equipment. The main difference hides is design – the place where Giorgetto feels best.
Giugiaro took the idea a year before official presentation of GG50 and received all the support from Ferrari President at that time, Luca di Montezemolo. He gave the designer just one condition: no restrictions on creativity, but the concept must keep up with Ferrari tradition. Giugiaro started working on the concept half a year after. He did everything just like 50 years ago: sketched every detail entirely by hand, with a pencil. Finally, he created a 1:10 scale concept from four views: side, nose, tail and bird’s view. Later, the concepts were rendered in a 3D project. In April, a full-scale plaster model has been made. In June, a running prototype has been completed already! The concept has made its way from a scratch to running car in less than just five months. That’s the spirit when you’re in a hurry for your own birthday present.
Almost all technical details mentioned above remained the same except for some minor exceptions. The prototype’s wheelbase is the same, but overall length is shorter by 9 centimetres than the original 612 Scaglietti (4.81 meters vs. 4.9). The concept car is also lower – Giugiaro cut 2 centimetres of front overhang and nipped the rear by 7. There are more differences that we cannot see from outside. For example, a modified position of the 95-litre fuel tank that created a larger boot (270 vs. 240 litres). Also, a flat platform when rear seats are lowered (and a total capacity of 500 litres). The concept is more practical, no matter how funny the word “practical” sounds when we are talking about Ferrari.
Nevertheless, there are many stories about the concept’s appeal and originality. Ferrari GG50 is a true masterpiece because of the story of its creation. A very few production cars in history can boast that they have been a base for a concept car, but 612 Scaglietti is one of them.

That word, "victim," has become the currency in this economy of images. Naive young people casually throw around terms like "decolonization" and "genocide" out of a sense of guilt that lacks any true understanding. These spoiled schmucks have turned into self-appointed gatekeepers. I recently came across a video of a young American man, in his 20s, proclaiming that, in light of President Biden's support for Israel, he no longer identifies as an "American." From now on he asserts, "I am a Saudi and a Qatari." It seems that, in his mind, these nations represent models of humanism. Such absurdity is truly beyond fabrication.
