You are in the Infiniti QX56 Forum. Your Hosts are steve_ & tidester
| 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. | |
| 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? | |

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

It earned our $$$$. Also, I don't forsee a new QX until 2010 at the earliest.

Replying to: keg97 (Mar 09, 2008 3:54 pm)  I have a '02 Denali which needs upgrading. I waited for GM's GMT 900 platform Denali with the 6.2. I was ready to buy one after looking at several other makes. Then I took a real good look at the front facia and decided I really couldn't live with it. I like the Tahoe but somehow buying a Chevy didn't seem the same. I never thought of buying an Escalade for the same reason I don't like the Denali now which is those vertical headlights. Oh well...maybe in 2010 with a makeover..... One thing for sure the Sequoia never entered the picture and have you seen the price on the new Lexus LX570?

Replying to: obyone (Mar 09, 2008 7:16 pm)  It really has a great powertrain but we were more interested in the luxury qualities of a truck and the Sequoia is severely limited in that regard, despite what some of the diehard Toyota fans claim.

I wrote earlier about purchasing a low mileage 5,000 - 8,000 '07 or new '08 and kind of got the response to buy new. I went to a dealer 75 miles away who had no 07s on hand but did have two demo 08s. One listed for $54,000, the other $57,000. I could not get him to give a quite on the demos as he wanted to talk new. I left with no deal. On the drive back home, another dealer called who had an '07 show Q56, 9,000 miles, 22 inch wheels, custom grill and trim. He wants $47,000 and did not want to budge. I am tempted to walk. Is it me are do the Infinti dealers play hard ball in South Florida?
