Sorry if this is a repost, I didn't see anything about it in a quick scan of the topics in the Nissan forum, so I thought I'd post it here.

The good news: It appears we're finally getting the Patrol in the US. :wings:

The bad news: It's badged as an Infiniti (same way Toyota badged the Prado as the Lexus GX470/460) and it will be a luxo-barge with a base price of over $50k. :mad:

Here's the new Patrol:

And here's the "new" QX56:

Sure look the same to me. I guess this replaces the Q56, which is basically a rebadged Pathfinder Armada.

4 wheel independent suspension - I guess it's only a matter of time before they all come that way, sadly. :(

Ugly and not really a Patrol in anything but NAME anymore IMO... I'll stick with Toyotas.

Wow what a let down! that thing is no where near the patrols i competed against in the rainforst and outback challenges. It's just a name now patrol has been sacrificed to being a crossover:Wow1:
