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?

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

I agree that little has changed with the exterior (although the front sensors are a great addition) but the big changes are with the interior. Look at a '04-'07 and then check out a '08. Literally, night and day. I think the new '08 Armada interior is way nicer than the older QX. Personally, I always thought that the QX interior was a joke (although when you compared it to the older Nav's, Escalades, etc. it was probably on par).
 
Add to the new features that came with the '08 QX (HDD Nav, Hard Drive Music Box, keyless start, new one piece roof rails, etc.) and I'd say that it was a "significant" refreshening. It earned our $$$$.
 
Also, I don't forsee a new QX until 2010 at the earliest.

You mean you didn't buy that Sequoia? LOL!!
 
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?

No...we passed. It is a great truck but we had no interest in the 20K interior w/the 60K price tag. 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.

Still Squirming, low mileage 07 'or 08 Q56 by benbo

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?

Have you tried going outside your area? I was emailing dealers as far away as 200 miles away...

I would recommend QX56 2008 vs 2007. Much nicer and better features including automatic folding 3rd row seat. I would try infiniti of Coconut Creek for a 2008 QX, which is where I made my deal. They had many of these SUV's sitting in the lot.
Be prepared to spend some time there.( Read my prior posts). Since moving to Florida I have found the car dealers challenging to deal with. Good luck.
