And virtually nothing has changed in the 10 years they have sold it. Just look at that gas mileage! Does anyone buy this still?

How about the Xterra? It’s only just getting killed off after this year and it has hardly changed since 1999.

I never see those around its a shame because I do actually like them a lot...

I would just buy like an 05 and save over 50%

My dad had an 04(?) and it was a total lemon. He had a Maxima before it and loved it, but that Xterra killed Nissans for him.

Ahhail no.

I’m just surprised they never talk about them. Get this, they said that they have “The nations most exciting lineup” in a commercial. HA.

They need to change that to “The Nation’s Most Confused Lineup”

from the overlooked 370Z, to the should’ve stayed in Japan Cube, to the OMG WTF IS THAT THING Juke, to the over decade old Armada and Xterra, and the WHY IS THIS A THING Crosscabriolet, Nissan has you covered!

Just out of curiosity, I was doing the Edmunds pricing thing... and it says you can save an average of over $5500 off MSRP!

My sister in law bought one for the sole reason that it wasn’t a Tahoe or Escalade.

That does seem a little extreme. They must be giving those things away to move them off dealer lots. I mean who chooses that over a expedition or suburban.

It did have a refresh in 2008, mainly in the interior. It went from a PoS interior to a very good one.

Somalia? I have no idea where they think they are.

They also have the worst build quality I’ve seen in years,

The interior of the Juke is absolutely horrible, the interior of the 370z is horrible and the clutch feels like a homemade seesaw made out of a stone and plank of wood, the Cube should never have existed here and the Quest resembles a shipping container. Not even to mention their horrible reliance on CVTs and boring everybody to death with their bland designs. Then they decide that the new Maxima is all “hip” and “exciting.” But they actually just followed the Lexus strategy of “Bloat and add ugliness.”

Even with the Expedition being ancient as hell, I would still buy that over the Armada any day.

I’ll just say that mileage is wildly optimistic. I’ve got a V8 Pathfinder, which has the Armada’s drivetrain in a smaller package, and the only time I’ve gotten 19 MPG is going downhill from 10,000’ to 5,000’. I'll grant that, living in Colorado, the altitude is diminishing my efficiency a little, but it's still optimistic.
