Taking center stage at Nissan’s display at the 1999 Tokyo Auto Show was the XVL, a luxury sedan with cutting-edge technology such as an EXTROID continuously-variable transmission, which uses power rollers instead of the belts common in most CVT systems. XVL is powered by a direct-injection 3.0-liter V-6, and is rear-wheel drive. Of course, the XVL received the venerated VQ35 and went on to become the G35 Sedan, released in 2003.
