unccpathfinder Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Wards Link so from this by reading between the lines the agree with most of us that the Armada sucks and the wd21 platform was much better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navygz19 Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 It sounds like a bunch of political jargon that came up at a coffee meeting with no particular outcome in sight. That's just me, tho We all know the unibody was a step in the wrong direction. IMO Nissan is taking steps to be more mom-friendly than anything else.

Trainman Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 I think maybe the R50 is on its way back. Unibody all the way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLApathy Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Im sure the R50 would be much different if Nissan had more say than it did when it was made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5523Pathfinder Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 (edited) The majority of buyers of the newer pathfinder want them to drive like cars. They want a vehicle that performs well on-road, because that is where they spend most of thier time. The new pathfinders are very nice to drive. The most power and control I have ever experienced. The new frame and suspension are very versital, with the exception of the rear suspension. Rear independent suspension, definitly not in the pathfinder heritage. The problem I see here at my dealer, is that the pathfinder is getting overlooked by buyers. It is blurred inbetween the Xterra and the Armada. Its kind of both vehicles. I would like to see nissan take a chance and build something that is just way different for the Pathfinder. I know that there is some designer out there that looks at the name Pathfinder and doesnt see it rolling around the mall parking lot. He sees it as a working mans SUV, or wait, is that the Xterra? See what I mean. The next redesign has to be a homerun, or we may see the Pathfinder go away. Thats my 2 cents. Maybe a rebadged Patrol? oooh, that would be nice.
