Had trouble copying the real link but here is the text:
With the flick of a switch, the color of this Nissan will change to match your mood or your outfit. The designers and engineers have worked out a way to rearrange the molecules in the paint so that when an electric current passes through them, the eyes perceive a different color. The colors can be controlled by the drivers. Since it requires electricity, the default color is white.
They have developed a “paramagnetic” paint coating, which is a unique polymer layer that features iron oxide particles that are applied to the vehicle’s body. When an electric current is applied to the polymer layer, the human eye then interprets the crystals in the polymer as different colors. Depending on the level of current and the spacing of the crystals, a wide range of colors can be selected by the driver. A steady current is needed to maintain the color effect, thus the paramagnetic paint doesn’t work when the vehicle is turned off and hence the vehicle switches back to a default white color.
This can't be good for legal reasons, also makes your car much easier to steal.

brilliant!
. Anyhow, I will be sure to ask the owner of a local Nissan dealership whom I know if this is in fact true. This is sounding like BMW's Gina Light concept...an astonishing concept, but will NEVER become street-legal.
This will never hit Canada, at least not in the state its in. If its real, cool, but until they figure out the tweaks we won't be seeing it here for a long long time...
