Looks like the Nissan version of the Infiniti JX... Some nice luxury upgrades, but I don't see any towing options, especially with a CVT and all-wheel drive.

You know when I was originally writing my response to this, I had to check myself a few times about the "female" comment, but couldn't think of any female members. Sorry. Let me amend my comments with "no disrespect intended to any of our female forum readers."As to the author of the article stating how "handsome" the new Pathfinder seems to be, I still fail to see how one could use that word knowing what the previous (current) model looks like. Does that make our R51 model a "crusty brute" in comparison? I just really have to question a man making such a statement about what is bound to be a clone of the already overblown soccer mom-mobile crossover market. I guess there is still a slim chance that all of the spy shots & previous rumors were false, but I'm not counting on it.

Haha I got ya. Yeah I completely agree; I never want to see the Pathfinder turn into a crossover... (I have only had 3 "pathys" throughout the years) and it's disappointing to think that it might no longer be an SUV. Guess I might have to stick with buying a used one if the 2013 is going to be anything like the pictures I have seen. Oh well...
The official unveiling will be tomorrow. For those who can't wait...

Yes, for a CAR. One of the reports said that it will still be able to 4x4 through the muck, which makes me wonder if it might have adjustable suspension. I'm still holding off writing the Pathfinder completely off the list until I can see more pics and, more importantly, specs. The engine MUST be different. While I absolutely love the engine in the R51, it will not compete for the mpg crown.JAHBLESSINGS wrote:looks good.
In my readings I found that Nissan will be using the 3.5l as the base engine and that will allow them to achieve those MPG figures. Open was the question about the V8 or a more powerful version of the 4.0L V6.NVSteve wrote:Yes, for a CAR.
