Nissan Quest Helps Local Quintuplets Enjoy the Ride Home New Quest
Minivan Ready for Delivery at O'Hare Airport

CHICAGO, Oct. 4 -- What's red, drives like a car,
performs like a van and goes "Wah! Wah! Wah! Wah! Wah!"  all the way
home? A Nissan Quest XE minivan presented Saturday, Oct. 5 to Bridget
and Bill Collins and their quintuplets by Nissan Motor
Corp. U.S.A. and its 26 Chicagoland Nissan dealers.

The red Quest will await them at O'Hare International Airport where
they are scheduled to arrive approximately at 10:30 p.m. The Quest
will be parked curbside at the America West Airlines upper level
departure drop-off area, Terminal 2. Joe Fenton, a dealer operations
manager for Nissan Motor Corp. U.S.A.'s North Central Region, will be
there to welcome the family home and present the vehicle.

"We wanted to help the Collinses adjust to their new life, and we
think the Quest will be the perfect vehicle for their expanded
family," said Patrick W. Doody, Nissan's North Central Regional Vice
President.

The Quest's signature QUEST TRAC(R) seating system, with its movable
third seat, provides maximum cargo and passenger flexibility. The
award-winning Quest, which is built in Avon Lake, Ohio, also offers
advanced safety features and car-like handling and comfort.

"Bridget and I are delighted to have the Quest," said Bill
Collins. "We can only say thank you."

After returning to the Chicago area, the Collins family will live
temporarily with Bridget's parents in suburban Bedford Park until
their new home, also in Bedford Park, can be remodeled specifically
for taking care of five infants.

manufacturing, sales, consumer and corporate finance, and industrial
and textile equipment. Nissan in North America employs more than
