#61 of 1470 Titan Has Potential by davant Feb 10, 2003 (8:31 pm)
Bob,   I agree, it is probably a fine truck but I don't need one now. Looking over the features I feel they had Ford directly in their sights but Nissan appears to have done it one better. I like cutting edge, I'm just not as passionate about it as you are. I am jealous of being back in my birthplace of Ballmer...until I saw the weather report. It was mid-60's in our part of FL today, windows are down!

I get passionate about any vehicle that is well done, even if I'm not in the market for. Actually, I spend very little time over in the pickup forums. I used to spend a lot of time here, but got turned off by all the name-calling and insults that seem to pervade some of these topics (or at least the ones I used to visit). So, as a result, I only "visit" when I see something really exciting, and worth commenting on. Most of my time is spent over in the Subaru area, as I am one of the Edmunds "Subaru Crew" leaders.   Where abouts in "Ballmer" did you live in? I came to Baltimore in the mid 1960s to go to college. I now live about 20 miles west of Baltimore, in the western part of Howard County.   Bob

Bob,   Forgive me other readers as this departs from the post.   Subaru? Not insulting but they aren't really mainstream, at least down here. Up north and in Colo the Forrester seemed to be as common as a civic, and for good reason, reliable, versatile, and great in bad traction situations, a little too quirky for my tastes.   Since this is a Nissan board (Titan, but taking a time out) I have to know your thoughts on the Murano. Is it a feeble attempt at a crossover sport or what the newest generation sees as their family wagon successor?   I was born in Ball'mer city in '60 but grew up in the burbs, Pikesville, Reisterstown, moved to Frederick area in '72. I remember floating raw bar/barges where the Light Street pavillion thingies are now. I WAS a Colts fan, have my personalized autographed Brooks Robinson baseball, and remember the riots even though I was still a punk. Eventually I migrated to Gaithersburg (actually it migrated to me, LOL). I came down here because there was work and it's too ^%*#$&%$# cold up there. MD is pretty, I miss fishing Calvert Cliffs too, (why does my fish have 3 eyes?), LOL. Keep the passionate reviews flowing.   Davester

<< Subaru? Not insulting but they aren't really mainstream, at least down here.

AWD, and their fairly recent discovery of performance is the other. I'll never buy another vehicle, or car at least, that's not AWD. I really am looking forward to the new 2.5L turbo Forester which will be introduced in about 14 hours (from the time of this posting) at the Chicago auto show.   << Since this is a Nissan board (Titan, but taking a time out) I have to know your thoughts on the Murano. Is it a feeble attempt at a crossover sport or what the newest generation sees as their family wagon successor? >>   I drove a Murano a couple of weeks ago. I was very curious about the CVT tranny. Frankly I was very impressed with the vehicle. It's quite powerful, and is one of the sportiest (in terms of handling) SUVs that I've driven.   It's not perfect. There is a very bad blind spot created by the rear quarter window, when you're looking over your right shoulder, while backing. That's clearly a concession to design. The new Infiniti FX45 has an even worse blind spot. I sat in one at the Baltimore car show. I also wonder how the CVT will hold up in the long run, especially if you do any towing. I also prefer the full-time AWD that Subaru offers, rather than the on-demand AWD that the Murano offers.   Bob
#65 of 1470 Topic drifting... by rsholland Feb 11, 2003 (7:34 pm)
I guess, to keep this topic alive, some "topic drifting" can be allowed, as there is only so much you can say about the Titan until it arrives.   The Crew cab reportedly will be shown in April at the NY Auto show—unless Nissan surprises us at the Chicago auto show. There also will be an SUV derived off this platform. I've heard it will have an IRS, like the new Expedition. I've also heard it may(?) be the next Pathfinder, and that it be actually be on sale before the pickup!   Bob

#67 of 1470 Toyota... by rsholland Feb 12, 2003 (5:38 pm)
just showed a Tundra Double Cab at Chicago. Check the Edmunds coverage of the Chicago show. The link is on the Edmunds Home Page.   Bob
#68 of 1470 Huh? by rsholland Feb 13, 2003 (12:43 pm)
Got the new issue of AutoWeek in the mail today. On the cover is a headline saying the "new Nissan full-size SUV uncovered."   So I go inside looking for this article—and can't find a thing! Nothing. Nada. Zip. Zilch...   Somebody dropped the ball...   Bob
#69 of 1470 Titan-based Pathfinder Armada! by rsholland Feb 13, 2003 (3:20 pm)
http://www.autonews.com/news.cms?newsId=4561   The next Pathfinder will be full-size, and will be built off the Titan platform. A couple of reports have mentioned that it will have an IRS, like the new Expedition. There is no mention of that here, however. The sketch looks great, IMO.   It will be introduced at the NY auto show this spring.   Bob
#70 of 1470 Bob's Evil Postman? by davant Feb 13, 2003 (6:18 pm)
Bob,   I got my Autoweek too. There are 13 color pages of the full size Nissan SUV inside & out to include a 4-fold centerfold, wowee! What a shame you're missing it hero. I guess your postman is also excited about it, check your page numbers, you'll see what I mean.   NOT! I could almost hear the page scrambling from here. I hope Nissan makes it available this year.
