Carl, have you seen this thread by any chance?

I'm not sure what I will do. I'd jump into an Xterra right now, but I wouldn't gain anything except maybe 3 miles on the odo vs 53,000, but I would lose a lot. Current model year Pathfinder is too timid & far more expensive than it should be. I'm probably going to wait and see what happens with the Xterra, as in if they will have a redesign. If they drop it, then I'm not sure. Can't stand Jeep, but the Wrangler Unlimited is far more tempting now that it has a real engine. In short, I hate the new redesign & I don't know what I will be doing. I can easily hold onto the Pathfinder for another 5 years, but who knows what will be on the market at that point.
