Not even sure how many are on the lots, tanka but there's lots of competition and more coming. The roomier Equinox, the newly-aggressively-priced CRV and the upcoming Hyundai Tuscon to name a few. I think we'll see some better deals down the road a bit. |

Every manufacturer is in the compact, car-based /suv segement (except for Volkswagen, maybe). Autoweek, in their review of the new Hyundai Tuscon, says it's the fastest growing segement in the industry. And now, with gas prices heading even further north, it may grow even faster. And yet Nissan USA still doesn't want to be apart of this market? At least Nissan Canada saw the light....no doubt helped by the fact that the compact SUV market is about 44% of the total SUV market in Canada, but I still think the USA needs the X-trail too. They are losing sales to the CR-V, a revamped Escape and Tribute, a revamped RAV-4, Outlander, Santa Fe & Tuscon, Sorento, VUE, the new Equinox, Forester etc. etc. etc. Nissan's loss, I guess.

Anyone buying one? Anyone in Canada or Mexico? Anyone anywhere but the US apparently. Steve, Host

I've test driven the X-Trail at the local dealership (Ottawa), and it suits my needs nicely. But I'm still holding off buying, because I'm hoping that Nissan Canada sees fit to bring the diesel powered version into the Canadian market. Any news / rumours of possible introduction of the diesel powered X-Trail into Canada? (For that matter, any news / rumours of introduction of the diesel powered CRV into Canada? First manufacturer to import a light diesel SUV into this country will get my money!) |

We're seeing a lot of these around Ontario these days, and we join the club this week with our own M5 AWD. Gas economy looks great and its a nice peppy powertrain for a fourbanger SUV. Does anyone know if/when they will be introduced to USA? Reason I'm asking is there's a darth of aftermarket accessories for X-Trail; hidden hitches, fender flares, rack kits etc. |
