Nissan is using intrigue to try to boost its sales and change its image in the UK.

Nissan Europe is airing a series of 24 one-minute spots on a British cable and satellite network on Sunday evenings. The commercials began airing in January and will appear until June.

The ads begin with the main character reading a letter. He gets emotional then departs in a Nissan Murano. A series of adventures follow involving other new or new-generation Nissans: the Pathfinder, Navara pickup and 350Z Roadster.
