Thats the commercial I'm talking about. But I don't think you have found the N600 in the commercial yet have you? You have the Citicar correct. You can view the commercial on the net. Just google for the Infiniti M Hybrid.

Actually the 'big front-end" Citicars were called Comuta-cars, built after the company went bankrupt in 1977 and was brought back to life in 1980. The big bumpers were also the housing for the batteries - 4 in the front, four in the back. All of that was an effort to meet new impact standards. The early Citicars had a bumper made of a piece of 2x6 oak, dipped in foam rubber (really).
Uh, don't ask me how I know all this.

PS: I still don't see the N600 in the commercial

Maybe the roof of the white sedan behind the couple shaking hands with the dealer looks like an AN. Maybe they grafted a nose and rear section onto a Honda to avoid recognition with the Honda products. In fact, they tried to make them look like a four door sedan! There are actually two of them!
But there is also a Toyota in the background and a Volvo in the showroom window.

Ok you have found the right commercial. What is the car parked next to the blue Citicar??? Try googling a Hybricon Centaur and see what you come up with....
