Nissan Introduces New Online Presence for Nissan and Infiniti

New Offerings Revitalize Brand, Deliver More Services to Customers and Improve
                                Buying Process

    CARSON, Calif., June 8 Nissan North America, Inc.
announced that it has taken steps to significantly enhance brand, customer
relationships and business return with the launch of two new Nissan and
Infiniti web destinations.  The Nissan Division unveils http://www.NissanDriven.com,
a cutting-edge consumer and corporate site that gives customers more ways to
shop and experience the purchase process -- from comparison-shopping to
financing.  The new http://www.Infiniti.com, executing on Infiniti's Total Ownership
Experience ("TOE"), delivers digitally advanced services to customers
specifically designed to enhance their buying and service experience.

    Both sites will launch on June 8, 2001 and represent the first official
articulation of the revitalized Nissan and Infiniti brands in digital media.

    "Adoption and penetration rates of digital media use continues to grow and
expand each day," said Steven P. Silver, director of eBusiness, Nissan North
America (NNA).  "In line with the global tasks outlined in the Nissan Revival
Plan (NRP), NNA's commitment to leading the automotive market in offering a
customer-focused digital media communications network begins with the launch
of these two redesigned websites."

    Both initiatives serve to strengthen Nissan and Infiniti brands, and
provide improved access to the company's products and services throughout
North America.  The sites will deliver services and experiences that
capitalize on the best features of digital media and allow Nissan North
America to build and maintain lifetime one-one-one relationships with its
customers.

    Both destinations were developed through collaborative efforts led by
NNA's eBusiness group and Sapient, a leading business and technology
consultancy.

    "Nissan is committed to leading their market, and so it was imperative
that they extend their global brands in ways that are extremely relevant to
the car-buying public," said Richard McClure, a vice president of Sapient's
industrial services business unit.  "With these customer-focused initiatives,
we've enhanced the Nissan and Infiniti brands and helped Nissan discover and
create new revenue generating opportunities."

    The Nissan Division website, http://www.NissanDriven.com, features a
comprehensive menu that will help consumers in their car shopping and buying
process.  The redesigned site serves as a "one-stop" shop where consumers
begin the shopping process by "designing" their own vehicle.  A competitive
comparison tool allows the consumer to actually compare their Nissan vehicle
of choice with other makes and models.  The NissanDriven site features a loan
and lease calculator tool, which can help customers determine their financing
options.  In addition, a new purchase process guide which includes an on-line
financing pre-approval application and an automotive glossary of terms
integrated within the context of each page, completes the website design
package.

    The site also offers visitors the opportunity to get a glimpse of Nissan's
corporate heritage, philosophy, vision, and commitment.  Detailed information
on Nissan's environmental, safety and philanthropic programs and achievements
is available, as well as a list of Nissan's diversified operations and
investments throughout North America.

    Recognizing that luxury car buyers have a different set of demands, the
goal of http://www.Infiniti.com is to emerge as one of the leading digital resources
in the luxury automotive market.  The site design presents an elegant and
refined execution.  Luxury car buyers expect exceptional individualized
service as a standard offering and Infiniti is taking this opportunity to pull
ahead of its competition by offering an in-depth, personalized online
experience with a superior degree of functionality to its luxury customers.

    Infiniti.com's site configurator has an advanced feature that allows
customers to save and send their own "designed" model directly to the nearest
Infiniti dealer or share their vehicle of choice to a friend for another
opinion.  Infiniti's site also has the ability to serve up customized and
regional offerings through its use of Customer Relationship Management (CRM)
technology.  In addition, a press section linked to the product line up will
allow customers to refer to related press articles and accolades for each of
the models.

    The site is divided into three sections, "Discover," "Acquire," and "My
Infiniti," each engaging the customers to an "TOE" experience.

    The site's new and robust technological platform will allow Infiniti to
further develop seamless and more integrated digital offerings in the future
such as personalized service schedule, and enhanced ownership services that
utilizes broadband.
