Photos: Nissan Mixim concept

Nissan is using the forthcoming Frankfurt auto show to exhibit its Mixim electric concept car. According to Nissan, the Mixim is a "compact vehicle for young drivers who are mostly engaged by their computer and the world via the Internet." There's not much chance of the model making it into production, but, like most concepts, it may provide clues to the direction of Nissan's model development over the next few years.
