Nissan blew it with me

I think the new Pathfinder looks pretty good. It's not a "Chickification" so much as Nissan wanting a product that actually sells. For 95% of owners based on a statistic that I just made up, most people have no real use for a body on frame off-roader. My dad has the current model and that thing chugs gas and never really goes off road. He bought it for the cargo room, seating capacity and winter driving in the Northeast....all of which the new Pathfinder can handle. Nissan going with a unibody is kind of a silly reason not to buy one.....in fact its a good reason for most people. The X-Terra is due for an update soon and chances are, Nissan will keep the off-roading capabilities. The X-terra kind of made the Pathfinder redundant, which is why it was re-designed. Seeing the success of the Infiniti JX, I have a feeling that this will be a success too.
