A full size SUV for the European market? Doesn't sound appropriate at all... but hey, they've been selling this thing for years now.
Could be the perfect replacement for that huge Infiniti suv, right?

If it's in direct competition with the Land Cruiser, then I would expect it to be more upscale than the Pathfinder Armada, which may also prove to be difficult for the QX56. I like the design; much resemblance to the current Land Cruiser, but I don't think it would do well in times like these. But why must the rear end be so ugly?

i actually thought i was looking at the land cruiser in those front and rear shots. possibly to steal sales from hardcore crusier fans. but then agqin the patrol has its own enthusiasts especially in the middle east where its king of dune bashing. nonetheless i would never want one

The v6 turbo diesel would be good and not to hungry, but that 4.5ltr v8 is the engine they use in the super gt500 in the Nissan cars gtr. as for the looks well it a Nissan, function over form

Front and interior looks okay, but what's wrong with the rear? I still would prefer a Land Cruiser.

If the Patrol is to keep up with the Landcruiser 200 Series(Landcruiser Amazon in some countries), it will need a V8 twin turbo diesel and a naturally aspirated V8 petrol. In comparison the Pathfinder should be taking the V6 turbo diesel and the V6 nat asp petrol to compete with the Prado (Standard Landcruiser in some countries).

Pricewise it should be cheaper than a Landcruiser wh/ makes it look all the better. Much more cohesive design than the RV/Aztek-style Armada. Did Kia design the rear?

Seriously ugly! Land cruiser is way way better than this. but a V8 engine sounds good.
