Big unit,
Looked at one today at the local shopping centre.
Looks a lot like a 200 series from the front &side.
Like to know what they are like from an owners point of view.

Hence why I went looking for a disco.....
Still haven't got one...........

Very time poor over xmas then had 5 week holiday.
Boss lady saw a new prado and wants one of them now  :-[

Heaven knows what we'll end up with, but it sure as heck won't be a patrol fuel guzzling beast that only a saudi could run.

Looks good, feels good, has lots of fruit, but returning over 20l per hundred emtpy and without towing..............no thanks.
Abduls rich enough....

20/100? Most of the tests say 14/100 and a few blokes I know that were involved with the LHD model they had out there for testing say they are a reasonable overpriced to the ****house thing..
So, how much bigger than the 200 is it, and what size do people expect it to be? Pathfinder size?? Oh hang on the pathfinder is that size.

Few blokes on patrol forum have them, alas overseas.

My thoughts? hide****ous, **** suspension, plastic every****thing, no diesel option (the petrol option they had was a good thing, although twice as thirsty as this one) and being petrol only it will be a flop.

At $85K, I'd be going a turbo diesel 200 for sure.

Oh, but I need the powerball win for that too.

One is presently being stored where I work (you see we have heaps of space and the local car yards lease out green areas for car storage).

Took a couple of pics with the phone so excuse the quality.

Don't like the tail lights on this one, but that's only my opinion

Cheers, Scott

We went and had a look at one on Saturday and they are huge !!

I guess it's not just the cost of the vehicle to purchase, but you'd also have to take into account the cost of the extras, bull bar, tyres (if you can get them), duel battery, winch, roof rack, cargo barrier, storage unit etc - you can spend $10-$15 more without much issue.

I'd love one, but alas can not afford it (or a new Toyota for that matter) I think we'll be sticking to our existing car for quiet a while.

that's the big killer upgrading from any car.. why many people stick with a brand so they can take bits with them... In this case, your screwed. Although ARB has had the bits for <2yrs for this model ready to go as the dude said on our tour last year!

no diesel option

I heard Mr Sakomoro, the drivetrain manager at Nissan, was bitchslapped when he suggested diesel.

"Which diesel should we fit?"

"We have no diesel'"

"But, we have diesel from Pathfinder to fit?"

"Why you no rearn Sakomoro San!"

I'd even go into debt for one with this..

5.0 V10 TDI
4,921 cc (300.3 cu in)
V10 Turbo
313 PS (230 kW; 309 bhp) @3750
750 N·m (553 lbf·ft) @ 2,000

and make it look as sweet as this


Then again, Nissan would probably expect Top shelf Lexus prices for it.
