    Nissan has mastered the art of redressing old platforms and components and reintroducing them as new. Look at the new Z and this pathfinder. I don't mind that at all I just wish the price would actually reflect that.

      @brianb4501 Рік тому

      Most of the other car manufacturers are doing the same thing with ice motor lineups. Like the Z you mentioned, which competes with the Supra. Toyota did not make anything new with the Supra. They put their own little spin on a BMW and called it a day.

    I really hope Nissan finds it's ground, I know it's been a struggle after kicking out Carlos Ghosn because Carlos Ghosn was all about cheap and low cost, which showed in reliability. And Carlos Ghosn had this model for nearly 20 years. So it will be a slow and tough process to start going back to what Nissan was before Carlos Ghosn.

    Kirk, you did pose a point that's needed to be said: COULD THIS BE THE END OF INFINITI AS A BRAND?
    Higher levels of this Pathfinder redesign could go upscale and replace the QX60. And if the QX60 full-sized crossover is discontinued you can say ADIÓS to the brand.
    Just think about it... 🤔

    I actually really like the look. It's definitely more premium. I'm just not sure if the same language will be implemented for the NA market. I say this because the China market Altima has a similarly look upfront and is more premium than in NA. Regardless, a refresh after 3 years is not so farfetched. The Palisade has undergone 2 facelifts in a matter of 4 years.

    I don't think it's a refresh, I think it's an all-new model specifically for the Chinese Market, either that or a very heavy refresh. Because, if you look at the side profile the US spec has a different silhouette and a more flat roofline, whereas the Chinese-spec model has a more sleeker, sloping roofline similar to the Infiniti QX60.

    Love the Max Out EV sports car concept! I would love to see more two-door sports EVs from any manufacturer, but this concept looks really fun and I'd love to see it make to Nissan's lineup.

    Across all manufacturers and the current and future automotive designs I see repair and insurance costs rising significantly. I'm looking at it from a body fender repair point of view. A simple fender bender may costs thousands due to sophistication of front end grills and more and more LED's incorporated into the front end architecture. Not to mention repair time. Supplier chain replacement parts and the complication of installation will add time and cost to repairs. If your headlight module needs to be replaced it may take weeks or longer before your car is safely drivable.

    • @DJG37S
      @DJG37S Рік тому

      Well the reason why is because the Ariya's are so overpriced, you are paying nearly 50k for an EV that can't keep up with the Mustang Mach E and they are nearly identical in price. Mach E has more range, more power, and so much more fun to drive at the same price range.
      Not only that I'm not a huge Tesla fan, but you can get a Model Y for about 50k and for those who love Tesla would but a Model Y instead of an Ariya. One of the biggest issues with Nissan is their pricing. They are trying to charge more for their cars their competitors or the same, with worst features like power, miles to charge/empty. If Nissan wants to be competitive they need to lower their pricing 10 fold.

    It's a good design but it's too un rugged looking. Compared to the current one.
    They made the mistake of becoming less rugged looking over the generations to become a mum suv.
    They realised they needed to go back to the Pathfinders roots with a more boxy look thankfully.
    This styling exercise is now again looking too mumsy as nice as it is just doesn't justify a Pathfinders look. The current one fits that brief much better.
    This should be the Murano.

      @@BigAltimaEnergy719 This is so not true. People aren't buying Nissan of the their design, especially the Aramda or the QX80. People aren't buying these cars, because if you have been looking at the statics of people buying cars and the taste of Gen Y and Gen Z's, then you will know that they aren't interested in huge gas V8 that only get like 18 MPG's on the highway. Instead the kids coming up are more interested in something that gets good gas mileage. Hence why hybrids are the #1 selling cars right now in the US. Nissan or any car company can make a very good looking V8 but it will have very little sales because it would be people like myself (early millennials like myself (born in 1985)) and earlier would be the one interested in them.

As noted, this Chinese Pathfinder seems to be more closely related to the QX60 as it has its lower roofline and looks to have the same front fenders and hood.
