Looks like my mom’s neighbors got themselves a 707 HP Easter present.

Gross. The NX we get here in the USA looks so derpy with that upturned bumper.

Take caliente : From this angle, it actually kind of resembles a Jeep Compass on steelies.

Sad to say, but I can’t unsee it now.

There is a resemblance. That said, I still like it - it isn’t overly shouty. To be honest, I’ve never thought the Journey is that bad looking... just need plain.

Blame the government. In order to count as a light truck, the NX has to have approach angles within a certain range. The Euro market NX base model has the same flat lower bumper as the F Sport package NX in the US.

Are you sure? I have a hard time believing that approach angles are a regulation requirement. If that was the case, the GX460 and the LX570 would both fail miserably. I think it’s more a marketing decision

That is what the GM at my dealership said was why they had different base trim fascias in the US.

I will ask corporate to clarify when I get to work tomorrow.

I was looking for a Pulsar NX and left disappointed...

HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles > FTTOHG Has Moved to https://opposite-lock.com 04/02/2018 at 01:12

Yellow brakes look good. Now paint the rest of it yellow

If such a thing existed from the factory I’d be making a very bad 7 year loan decision...

Yeah that’s what I meant - the Euro one looks so much better. The question I have is why the NX needs the improved approach angle to qualify as a light truck but the RX somehow does it with the flat front.

*Shrug* I have no idea. The US fuel economy rules really do not make much sense.

The PT Cruiser was classified as a light truck. Different EPA and DOT Safety requirements.

However, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which oversees compliance, has no specific definition for crossovers, so manufacturers essentially get to choose segments to fit them into.
These segments include “small,” “mid-size,” or “large” car, and “small” or “standard” SUV.
But the small SUV category is also split into “two-wheel drive” and “four-wheel drive” subcategories, with “two-wheel drive” models considered cars, and “four-wheel drive” models considered SUVs.
That means a model with multiple drivetrain options could be classified as both a car and a truck.
That’s the case with the Nissan Pathfinder which, with a GVWR of 5,985 pounds, comes in just under the 6,000-pound maximum weight for “small” SUVs.
So front-wheel drive versions of the Pathfinder are considered cars, while all-wheel drive versions are considered trucks, as far as the EPA is concerned.

Because that makes total sense??? Sure, let’s allow car makers to choose how they classify their own cars, what could possibly go wrong?
