New Design of the Infiniti FX

[nfpgasmask]

Don't you hate when they redesign and uglify what was a fairly decent looking whip? I think Nissan completely ruined the Xterra. I liked the style of the original, and I really thought they were keeping pace with the round headlight 03 style, and then the boxy new style came out. It's HORRIBLE.

So bart,to me the new X-terra is the best looking & more off roading capable of all.

The two only drawnback done by nissan are the new rogue & the re-designed murano,i'll rather get my hands on the X-terra.
Only con I found on the new X-terra are the cheapy looking interior,if they go a bit foward offering better trims they'll be on the right path for sure.

Eh, I'm torn. I've driven the new Xterra, and it has a cavernous interior and much more powerful engine (without FI) compared to the old model. But I agree that the styling isn't as edgy as it once was. The interior is chintzy in either generation, and I was especially bummed to learn that factory navi wasn't an option on any model (all the way up through 2008!). I think the just did a minor body/interior update, but it looks like more of the same to me. Hopefully the next upgrade will strike a better balance and offer more options.

In the end I turned down a newer Xterra and Wrangler Unlimited for the VX and have never look back!

Yeah, I just don't like the way the new X looks, period. The squared off wheel wells completely ruined it for me. I also think it looks bulky and awkward. The Xterra always had a small to medium sized look to it, and now it looks BIG and UGLY.

The years with the round headlights look the best, imo. If I bought another X, it would end up looking something like this - minus the ugly snorkel (I hate snorkels).



Still, nothing compared to the coolness of the VX.
