Interesting. I'm no rocket scientist but this would have to be activated or deactivated by the user correct. Or is this thing changing on the fly by input of the accelerator.

Ohhhh Nissan. We know you mean well ...
... but this makes no sense from a performance standpoint -- not to mention long-term reliability, which is your bugaboo. I mean, you're already the second least-reliable Japanese carmaker behind Mitsubishi, which just killed the only car worth anything to anyone ... Next!

Actually, 20 years ago Saab Automotive wasn't in bad shape. The 9000 had been a relative sales success, and it was just launching the next-gen "9-" variants and was half-owned by a European investment group and GM ...
... which saw fit to buy it out completely four years later and begin the long line of relatively boring, noncompetitive, parts-shared models that DID contribute to Saab Auto's failure.

Seriously, if this had been on a BMW you all would be singing its praises.

According to SCOTT26, yeah.
http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1280651 Granted, BMW can put out a piece of poop and SCOTT26 will claim it is the best driving piece of poop ever built.

If BMW makes poop, and there was a market for said poop, it's his job to do his best to sell that poop to as many poop shoppers as possible. Thing is, you talk about poop to poop enthusiasts on a forum in a different way that you present poop to, say, soccer moms who just need nice poop to help haul around. If SCOTT26 decided to reveal that his poop isn't as good as some other poop, well, he'd likely need to find a gig selling something else. Patties, maybe. Or chips. Maybe even loaves?
