Separated at Birth: Nissan Surpises Tokyo With IDx Concepts

Nissan surprised many by revealing the IDx concepts at the Tokyo motor show, the undeniable star in what has become a regional show without much global relevance.

Though many people expected to see a ‘Z car’ replacement revealed at the show -- a fabled rival to the Toyota GT-86 -- this was not the case.
