    Most of Nissan's current North American market vehicles are rather unexceptional in my opinion, but the GT-R is one of the exceptions; Unfortunately, a GT-R costs as much as a decent house in some parts of the country!

    The newest Nissan Altima is a good-looking car, and the base model with AWD is a very good buy; However, there is the issue of the CVT, which is why I'd never buy one...

    Love my '10 Frontier Pro-4x with the 4.0L and 6spd. First Nissan I've owned and I'd definitely buy another.

    That's about the only drivetrain configuration I'd want in a current Frontier...

    Don't you have a Tacoma though?

    The last generation of Pathfinder was actually a good vehicle, and certain models were available with a V8 (I'm not talking about the Armada; The regular-sized Pathfinder could be had with a V8)! Unfortunately, the Pathfinder was turned into a soulless blob of a crossover for the 2013 model year (I believe this is a 2012 model)...

    I had an 06 xterra and the paint fell off (QM1) and Nissan denied there was a problem despite tons of complaints.

    On the other hand I had an 05 Frontier NISMO off road that was a beast. That 4.0 VQ was a screamer and the suspension was pretty decent.

    I like the way the Frontier looks, and the big benefits they have over the Tacoma are standard 4-wheel disc brakes and intermittent wipers...

    However, I've drive a few of them; They have a very rough ride that allows you to feel every bumper, and the turning circle can best be described as Nimitz-Class in my opinion. I'm not saying they aren't good trucks though; I know a guy whose got a silver 2006 4x4, and he added a touch-screen HU with a backup camera!

    Had a 2006 SR5 4x4, Much happier with the Frontier. I was waiting on the 3rd gen and wasn't really into it once it was revealed.

    I love the early nineties Diamantes! My uncle had a 1993 sedan that he bought brand new and traded for a used BMW 5-series in 2000-2001. He was living in Boca Raton at the time and didn't have to worry about snow...

    One of the things I loved about my uncle's '93 Diamante was that it had a factory CD changer, in the trunk!

    Pretty sure this is a JDM-spec model, but still pretty sweet! Note the rear windshield wiper; Never seen that on a 4-door that wasn't a liftback before!

    If were looking for a new truck, it would be a tough choice between the frontier and the taco. My 07 frontier has been flawless, and has the _best_ cupholders. Also, VW40 + 6 speed = : )

    Yep, 6MT. It's still available with the 4.0L

    This one has a 600hp 5.6L V8 from a Titan with the 6MT behind it.
