To me it just looks like a huge suv trying to look like a car.  Now that cross overs are all the rage, everyone is having a hay day with mixing and matching parts and designs from each others bins.  VW did this with the new GTI, using tail lights from the Taureg!?  WHAT??



Sorry a bit of a rant...
I personally don't get it.  The whole "cross over" thing.  The big problem I have with cars these days is that they aren't built with purpose anymore.  They all are trying to be the perfect vehicle to everyone at the same time.  Leaving us the consumers stuck with cars that handle like trucks and trucks without any room, ground clearance or towing capacity and they might tell you it drives "car like" but you can't fool physics.  This is one reason why I think the Ford Raptor, despite being in a recession with gas prices waiting to go up, is doing as well as it is.  Its something that is designed with purpose that stands out in a sea of mediocrity.  Gone are the days when car companies try to woo you with anything truly exciting.  Now they just slap some new electronics in it and wait for the numbers to roll in.  I mean hell, even "The Ultimate Diving Machine" is starting to share platforms (7/5).

I want to go test drive one too.  I gotta lease to run out, but I dont think its as ugly as everyone else here, at least not in person

i want to dig this car so much... but its tuff right now.... did see one driving around a park one day... it really stood out.  Not in a bad way, or maybe its just cause I am a car guy....

let us know how your test drive goes.... is the armada looking the same? or is Nissan going to keep the QX different (hope so)...

The Explorer should be good enough.   

Elaborate trin, is this purely aesthetic?

headlights lower than the hood-line...?  I wonder why they did that



And what bothers me is the rear wiper... that thing is tiny on that huge rear window.

Just big enough for the robbers to see whats inside
