Rear sunshade up/down.

Well yeah, those are all renderings, not actual photos.

It looks like they will. If you look at the high res version on nissannews.com you can see the LEDs continuing into the trunk lid.

the FX has the holes for the LEDs in the trunk lense as well but there are no LEDs in them.

This is one of the best angles. It really shows just how low-slung (or panamera like, as someone else said) this sedan looks. Plus I see plenty of essence in the rear.

Some details of the engine would sure be nice... if the 5.0L in the FX50 does 390hp, a 5.6L with VVEL and direct injection has got to be well north of "over 400hp". A little google work turns up VK56VD as the name of the engine, mentioned exclusively in Japanese in references to the Fuga (the Nissan name for the M).
