In the first week of my arrival in Yokohama, I managed to visit the Global Headquarters of Nissan Motor Company Limited. As a proud IPoS Alumni (Intensive Program on Sustainability) sponsored by Nissan Science Foundation, I was delighted to have visited the showroom/museum situated at the ground floor of the building.
For your information, the Nissan HQ is situated adjacent to the Yokohama Station and the entrance is free. As seen in the photo below, that huge building is their new HQ since the year 2010. That building is owned by Nissan itself...The older HQ in Tokyo was rent out to other company.

Introducing the latest ZERO 0 % Emission car, The Nissan Leaf. This car only uses battery which needs a special adapter to charge the car. And yes! but no..this car only moves by using electricity and no back-up fuel compartment. Well it really serve the purpose of zero emission and Yokohama Authority are slowly setting and planning for electrical charging station.

Next is animation meets Nissan. Fancy Evangelion? Here's a similiar version of evangelion robot design into the Nissan Juke.
This anime is titled Rinne no Lagrange: Flower Declaration of Your Heart and it is set to premier in the year 2012, month of January. I guess this car design is to advertise and promote this upcoming anime.
