Nissan Titan Onyx Concept
CHICAGO (Feb. 8, 2006) – Nissan North America, Inc. (NNA) today unveiled the Titan Onyx, a concept version of Nissan’s popular full-size Titan pickup. Designed to add a new level of visual appeal for customers who seek higher levels of customization, the Titan Onyx is highlighted by 20-inch chrome wheels, chrome running boards and a unique grille and deep front valance.
Inside, the Titan Onyx features black interior trim, “satin” gauge bezels, embroidered floor mats, aluminum brake and accelerator pedals and special accents on the steering wheel and head restraints.
“With its powerful engine, rugged frame and innovative utility systems, the Nissan Titan provides a great foundation for developing special concept editions such as the Titan Onyx,” said Brad Bradshaw, vice president and general manager, Nissan Division. “We know that there are buyers looking for more attitude, presence and upscale appearance – trucks that, like this Onyx Concept, offer distinction from other vehicles on the road.”
The 2006 Nissan Titan is available in King Cab and Crew Cab body styles, each available with a standard 305 horsepower 5.6-liter DOHC V8 and a choice of 4x4 and 4x2 drive.

I am not feeling that front bumper or the whole truck for that matter. Nissan has to go back to the drawing board in my own opinion.

They are going the wrong direction when gaining customer appeal. Can someone over @ Nissan or Ghosen for that matter, advise that VIP Style is not applicable to trucks!....Yikes! Somebody over there better be fired!!! 
.......I betcha Wald, Fabulous, Auto Couture, etc, are probably laughing their A$$e$ off with this kind of definite one-off Nissan creation..

Also note.....look at the last picture, if they can't think any better to hide the stamp steel welds, they could have @ least tried to align them....This is supposed to be a concept??? or is this a practical joke?.... 
and I agree.

If Lexus came out with the exact same package for the IS, the fanboys here would be drooling all over themselves. While this doesn't fit my tastes at all, I don't think it's any worse than many of the automotive travesties I see on the roads today. At least Nissan came up with a coordinated interior/exterior color scheme (which is more than I can say for Lexus with the Pebble Beach SC's). And it may have visible stamp welds and other flaws, but I suspect those are common to all vehicles in this price class.

I generally agree with Iceman. This is not exactly my cup of tea but I have seen worse....much worse...... in some instances. I'm not generally a fan of blacks, silvers, and grays, but this truck does that color coordination pretty well. The only thing I really don't like on this truck is the front end ( forward of the windshield pillars ) ...........it looks too much like the ugly Scion xB.
