Nissan sees annual profits beating Toyota, Honda

We bought a 2011 Xterra Pro-4x and it's AWESOME.

Good, now they need to make something that competes with the upcoming FT-86 so that I can buy it.

Good to hear since I've been out testing a new Pathfinder.

A longer, poshier Xterra. Should be AWESOME as well.

Very true. I like the looks of both. I had the Pathfinder for about 3 days last week and loved it. Now they just need to find me one that has the right trim packages.

It was a toss up between my Tundra and a Titan!

Didn't take long for me to narrow it down to a Pathfinder, 4Runner or an Xterra. That FJ cruiser has terrible visibility, and I don't like the Rubicon. Those are pretty much the only real SUV's left.

Xterra is the cheapest of those, and best suited to us. That all plastic interior may not look as good as the others, but I've got a 2 year old and a dog. They can't hurt it. Everything just wipes off.

Plus, 80% is in the city. Short wheelbase makes it easy for USABabe to park.

Power out the wazoo. Your Pathfinder will have the same engine block as the GTR! (another awesome Nissan product, I'm becoming a bit of a fan)

I've never heard too many complaints about Nissan so you probably chose wisely. If I can ever afford a second vehicle I'd love to take a shot at driving one of those Muranos.

I ended up with a Tundra and don`t regret it. But I`d look at a Titan if I was buying again.

The two choices were an MDX or the Pathfinder. MDX is more $ but has more luxury too. They changed the style a bit this year and its starting to look smaller and more like a mini van sort of thing. A couple of friends have a MDX and have nothing but good to say about them. I just don't care for the latest style now. The Pathfinder's power was WAY more than I thought it was going to be and I liked it.......although I hear they're a bit hard on gas. I'll be looking at finding a Pathfinder SV with the SV Premium Package or higher. We don't have kids so I don't need the entertainment DVD package and dogs never watch TV at home so I doubt they'll want to watch it there on the way to the Vet or something.
It just feels more like a real SUV......which is what I miss.

That's cause it IS a real SUV. Body on chassis, just like a truck. Same boxed channel frame as a Titan for those of you talking trucks.

The Acura is a uni-body, just like a minivan. The only real SUV's left are Nissan, Toyota, or a jeep (IMO).

Sold my truck, so all truck duties are done with a utility trailer behind the Xterra (getting firewood etc).
