Nissan has previously announced that the automaker is not planning on attending the 2009 Detroit Auto Show, which means that no Nissan or Infiniti vehicles will be present on the show floor. Last month Nissan and Infiniti dealers stepped up and said they would donate their own vehicles to be displayed at the show. Nissan has now reportedly asked the dealers to not participate in the show.
"The dealers were going to support a presence and had all stepped forward,” Doug Fox, auto show co-chairman and owner of Ann Arbor Nissan said in an interview with Detroit Free Press. “But the week before Christmas we received a request from Nissan to please respect their decision to not have a presence at the North American International Auto Show.”
That means Detroit show goers will not be able to see the new 370Z or even the Nissan Cube.

Good riddance, the real reason is that ugly box would be totally over shadowed by the Flex, and they didn't want the dealers to cry in front of it wishing they could sell one. lol. Way to go Nissan, why don't you just leave altogether.

Nissan must be having troubles. With Toyota shutting down for a number of days it makes you wonder what the smaller Honda and Nissan are going through.
