Re: 2008 Nissan Pathfinder

Interior is MUCH improved and the exterior looks likes its slowly getting more curvy like the other Nissans....

Overall a great update and they fixed their largest downfall...should do even better...

My only gripe is like the New Ford Edge for it being Midsize it costs a little more then the competition

Re: 2008 Nissan Pathfinder

Pretty nice interior, but that is a HUGE center stack. Exterior is ok, but is now starting to look like the Xterra.

Re: 2008 Nissan Pathfinder

Nissan is doing a great job refining their interiors... the new G35, Armada, QX56, Altima, Maxima... they're all really nice looking inside. That's what they needed most. I can't wait for the G35 coupe. Now if only Dodge/Chrysler could improve their interiors.

Re: 2008 Nissan Pathfinder

I think the Pathfinder is among the best looking SUVs, and this makes it better looking.

Re: 2008 Nissan Pathfinder

What's so great about the interior? It looks like any of the other new Nissan interiors. (which really aren't all that great IMHO)

However the new V8 and feature list are impressive.

Re: 2008 Nissan Pathfinder

Wow. This interior looks pretty good, they really took it up a step. The quality and design of the materials seem to be on par (or better) for it's class. The 5.6L 317hp V8 is going to be a monster in that truck, especially since it is only a midsize SUV.

Re: 2008 Nissan Pathfinder

front and interior looks great. I love the fact that the pathfinder still has the door nobs higher on the 2 back doors...its like its own styling mark, how you'll know its a pathfinder.

Re: 2008 Nissan Pathfinder

So I was curious so I googled the 0-60 for a Pathfinder.I saw between 6.7 and 7.4 seconds.So this thing with the V8 is gonna be !%&*# fast.

Best part Autos.com says a Buick Rainer goes 0-60 in 6.2s? lol

Re: 2008 Nissan Pathfinder

Actually, I read in Motor Trend that the Pathfinder with the 4.0 V6 is a tenth of a second slower than the 4Runner V6. 4Runner V6 got 7.4 seconds to 60. 4Runner V8 was only slightly better but I think the ultimate drag for it was it was AWD.

I'm liking the new interior, but the exterior to me is still blah.
