      Based on QX80 drives, the power delivery is much better than the V8. Think of this as the starting point for the R36 GTR. There is a more powerful version of this engine that's coming down the road. This engine can be detuned and placed in more vehicles (Pathfinder imagine 300HP/300/lbft).

    Wow, what a gorgeous looking vehicle. Nissan hit a home run with this one...this Platinum Reserve is very comparable to the Infiniti QX80 Sensory trim, which costs $20,000 more. I will take this over the Infiniti QX80, this Armada is better priced and better looking even though their looks are very similar, since they are basically the same Vehicle from Nissan.

    I've read Nissan needs to turn things around in the next 18 mos. or the company is toast (possible merger -- Subaru?). Are these great redesigns a sign of optimism or desperation? Lots of talent at Nissan; hope they can pull through.

    This is what I'm talking about when I say that today's Japanese/Korean luxury car interiors just hit differently when compared to the Germans. There may be two 14-inch screens on the dash, but at least Nissan put in the effort of integrating them nicely as opposed to just sticking them on the dashboard and calling it a day like BMW. The infotainment is even more straightforward than BMW's.

    Very good review. Watching you from Madagascar 🇲🇬. In my country, pickups (trucks) and SUV are very popular. I have a Toyota Land Cruiser 300 series (same as the Lexus LX) but with a 3.3L V6 twin turbo diesel. And sure, I will buy the Nissan Patrol Y63 when it will arrive. This car is so beautiful. Unfortunately, without a diesel engine, it will not be a best seller here. But Toyota and Nissan are the best offroad makers. The Lexus LX should be compared to the Infiniti QX80.
