GARDENA, Calif., Oct. 14 -- Nissan North America, Inc. will

In addition to its first-ever corporate display at the show's Las Vegas
Convention Center venue, the Nissan and Infiniti divisions will showcase over
25 specially prepared cars and trucks throughout the show and conduct a
"measuring session" involving the all-new 2000 Nissan Sentra sedan, set to go
on-sale early next year.
Highlighting Nissan's corporate display will be four new models modified
by outside suppliers: a 2000 Maxima SE built by Eibach, a 2000 Frontier Crew
Cab SE by Popular Mechanics Magazine, a 2000 Xterra by Overlander Outfitters
and a 1999.5 Pathfinder SE by HKS U.S.A., Inc. Official Nissan parts and
accessories will also be shown at the display.
"The SEMA Show is the perfect place to give the aftermarket a closer look
at our products," said Jed Connelly, vice president and general manager,
Nissan Division. "The show creates an environment that can help bring our new
products to a new dimension and at the same time can help position the Sentra
as a product ripe for aftermarket personalization."
Nissan will give the aftermarket a sneak peek of the 2000 Sentra at a
"measuring session" on Tuesday, November 2, in order to display the
customization potential of the all-new vehicle. Sentra will make its public
debut at the 2000 North American International Auto Show in Detroit in early
January.
Nissan also has provided 17 vehicles to additional aftermarket
manufacturers and publications, in addition to bringing five in-house projects
and two concept vehicles that were stars of the 1999 Auto Show circuit, the Z
Concept and SUT Concept vehicles.
