Why dont "luxury cars" have names?
Prelude....Accord....Maxima...let the name slide off your tongue...not Q45 or something. Just retarded.

Nissan enthusiasts refer to that gen. Q45 as the Q41 because it was the only time in it's model history it didn't conform to the 4.5 liter displacement.

this is gonna be one big-ass agressive grill!



Also, if Infiniti has 315hp from it's 4.5L (in the FX45) then why do they claim this truck will have a 300hp 5.6L? Seems kinda backwards.

Different powerband, with more low-end torque. It probably doesn't rev as high as the 4.5 liter.

The 5.6 will have a lot more grunt than the 4.5...the new 5.6 is also found in the Titan and Car & Driver said they love that engine.

AMEN!!!

Back on topic, I think it is very ugly, just like the pathfinder armada, and the new quest minivan. Odd proportions, too weird

My biggest complaint with it is the side profile. The way the rear door & window is shaped it looks as if the rear door is sagging and the last section was a "oh by the way, I think we need more space."
