Picked up our new QX 4x4 yesterday....
Tuscan Pearl/Wheat
Tech Package
DVD Package
 
So far so good....we had an excellent dealership experience w/Charles Barker Infiniti in VA Beach. I kept waiting for them to try to pull something and they never did. They did not even push any of the warranty/maintenance plans- they simply showed what we could get and offered to answer any questions. Big kudos for that!
 
The funniest part....they don't put those nasty dealership stickers on the car. I asked why (I HATE them) and the sales manager said quite simply, "Mr. Barker believes those stickers lack class and our customers agree wholeheartily. Our best advertising comes from good customers". Very true!

No joke. They also have a Lexus and a Toyota dealership and they don't put decals on those vehicles either. Their loaner cars just have a little decal on the corner of the trunk highlighting them as a "Charles Barker Loaner Vehicle"...again better than my Acura dealer who puts a large banner across the rear windshield.

Tire Yuck by keg97

Does anybody else with a lighter colored QX notice the tire gel getting all over your truck? I'm using the same tire gel that I use on my car and on our old truck and I've never had this problem before. I just washed the truck yesterday and my wife said that she noticed at work (12 mile trip) that there were a ton of black spots up and done both sides.

Anyone know when the QX is getting redesigned? by founder

I heard that the Armada was supposed to get redesign for 09 but I haven't seen anything official. I assume the QX will get the same treatment. This SUV has been out for a while now. If I'm not mistaken it came out like 4 or 5 years ago. While not the best looking SUV, it's a good price and gives you a lot of features. I had heard about all the problems the earlier models had, and my co worker got an 08 a couple months and he loves. I test drove one and I was impressed. I can list some complaints , but it's the same with all the SUVs I've looked at. I want to get one but my fear is Nissan is going to change the body soon, if not 09 then 10. Just want to hold off and see what's coming down the line. Just wandering if anyone heard anything?

I would not think the QX and Armada will change much in '09 given the significant refreshing to them in '08.

Significant refreshing? Same engine, same cab and chassis. What has changed since 2004 that's considered significant?

Obyone, the following article will answer your questions.

Adding options which should have been there in by obyone

the first place is one thing. Adding bling according to that article is another. However, the exterior looks the same and so is the drivetrain.
 

 

 
The top picture is a 2004 and the bottom is a 2008.
 
The 20's are an improvement though personally I think 22's are optimum for this size of suv. The front and rear sensors are also an improvement. The question is without reading about the changes are you really able to tell the difference between a 2004 and 2008? I'd bet most couldn't.
 
I believe the original poster was wondering when a complete makeover might be in the works. The revisions that Nissan put into the 2008 would have no problem carrying over in a new redesign. I would think new sheetmetal would be required in the next two years. However based on Q sales I'm not so certain Mr. Ghosn would agree to that
