THE SPOTS
Four :30s introduce Nissan’s 2005 models. In "Engaging," the camera zips and spins around the Altima as it zooms in for detailed shots of the newly redesigned interior and exterior features. In "Extreme Makeover," a crowd gasps as a lovely woman steps out of the new Altima. She smiles in appreciation only to discover that the admiration is for the car. In "Fun Not Fun," the new Nissan Sentra is compared to unreliable and gas-guzzling vehicles. Nissan’s array of options available to buyers of the new Xterra are highlighted in "We Know." The World Championship package offers 16 options for the extreme sports enthusiast.
Spots broke in August.
