Vince, this would be the perfect SUV to replace the Xterra, but somebody is either getting a kick back to keep the assembly locally made in the US for this model or it is cheaper to make or maybe both. The Pathfinder and the Xterra are also too close cousins just like the Altima and Maxima. One is killing the other sales. With the Xterra gone and the X-trail in, Nissan will have more appeal and this will tale on the CR-V, Rav4, Suzuki GV and Mitsu. Outlander. The Xterra is more FJ territory, but then again you have the Pathfinder….
Like Nissan (or the US) needs another SUV.
I don’t get it. The X-Trail has sold extremely well here in Canada and they discontinue it? Though Nissan hopes buyers will move to the ’08 Rogue, I can’t see it being as successful as the X-Trail has been here.
I will look at the Rogue, Impreza and Cr-V. I asked Vince several times if he had any idea about the forthcoming Blade and he never responds. I might also add the Mini to the equastion, but I would have chose the X-tail first but for some stupid reason the shmuck in charge of Nissan N. American sales is a selfish whimp and has no idea that this car will sell well here. The crowd is a little tired of Xterras…. THINK ABOUT IT…
Our next Matrix is supposed to be “based” on the Blade. Whatever that means. It might be the same car, or something with an all new design.
