is on track to have a major month of reveals in November. On November 7, it is revealing the latest generation of the Qashqai crossover. Its Tokyo Motor Show lineup is somewhat more murky, but it seems that it will reveal the next generation Z-carNissan Fairlady ZJapan, 1969 > 20076 series

Nissan says that it wants the new Qashqai to set new benchmarks in its class for active safety technology, driver comfort and refinement.
It calls the new model "the most significant car in [Nissan's] modern history" and says that it will offer a brand new infotainment system and cutting edge safety in its class.
The news about Nissan's lineup for the Tokyo Motor Show later in the month is slightly less clear. Andy Palmer, the company's global product planning chief, has confirmed that the company is bringing some sort of sports coupe to the show.

Evidence of the new Nismo GT-R is also strong. When Nissan announced that it was developing the ZEOD RC earlier this year, Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn confirmed that the car was in development.
"It would be unthinkable for us to develop a range of Nismo road cars without including the GT-R. The standard road car is a global supercar and the GT-R's performance on track reflects the passion and talents of the Nismo team. The GT-R Nismo will be special and I can't wait to drive it,” said Ghosn.
On November 1, Nissan's official Twitter page tweeted: "Leading up to our big launch this month, we’re celebrating everything GT-R." Since then, it has been posting historic images of the GT-R there.
