Showgoers wer also
invited to give Nissan their
comments on a second pro-
totype, a one-of-a-kind tour-
door, four-seat Frontier pick-
up trick, equipped to full
North American specifica-
tions.

The 1999 Quest minivan
will be a seven-seater with a
new, longer and broader
body, as well as an addiriona!
fourth side door as standard
equipment.

flexible sliding seat system

— a height-adjustable cargo

versions for
markets — like
Africa and Asia
for years,” said
Max Wickens,
spokesman for
Nissan Canada

He added:
“Canadians
and Americans

ly cold us they
don't want
anything big-
ger than our King-Cab — a
