As we're approaching closer to the North American International Auto Show in Detroit on January 9, more automakers are slowly rolling out their plans for the future. Not long ago Nissan confirmed that it's presence at the show will be highlighted by the worldwide debut of two concept vehicles, including a Pathfinder preview study and an all-electric van prototype.

Nissan says that the Pathfinder SUV concept is the production model adding that it will go on sale in the States in fall of 2012.

The Japanese carmaker's second concept model doesn't have a name yet, but according to Nissan, the van study previews a future production version of a pure electric model "designed to provide businesses or families with flexible, roomy cargo space".
