Very happy with my recent purchase of a 2008 QX 56. I got the base model, no options, 2WD and paid just under $50k while financing at 2.9% for 63 months from Infiniti financial services. This vehicle has all the options most would want in the base model with just Rear DVD and Intelligent Cruise control and 4WD as options, made buying it easy. Very nice interior and fit and finish. I like the looks of it over most other SUV's I considered. Mileage is low and it is big, but very happy with my decision as this is what I need for a two month 15+k mile trip with 5 adults, a small dog and my golf clubs late summer this year.

I must report that I am happy with my purchase of my '08 QX56. I paid about the same , under $50,000.00 including DVD. The purchase was a little tiresome but I am happy with my purchase and the vehicle handles well. I have under 1,000 miles so it may be a little premature but I can tell you that so far ,handling, appearance, and response from others makes me smile. I own a GMC Yukon, which I did not trade, so MPG was not a shock. I might add that you must be prepared to work on the salesperson but you should be able to close the deal with everything except AWD and Intelligence Cruise for around $49,000.00. Be careful of the dealer add-on because they can take the goodness out of the deal.

When you state tiresome do you mean 2+ hours of negotiations?

Read back b.c his negotiation story is great. He may even loan out his kids to help facilitate the process for ya....a great story!!!
On the flip side, my negotiations were great...got the dealer to move 5K in 20 minutes. I was very happy with my dealer from test-driving to delivery.

Haven't heard that, but it is more then likly true. I read that Nissan is going to separate the platforms so that the QX will be totally different from the Armada. I think it may be true about the QX heading to Japan, but you never know. I must say that this truck while good ofr the value is a mixed bag in the looks dept. Sometime i see them on the street and they look nice and other times I go ughhh.

Nissan has already said that production of the QX will be moving to Japan, likely based upon the Patrol platform.
As for the looks, I'm there with you...and I own one! I LOVE the look of the Escalade in white...classy but with an attitude. My wife (a rather good judge of looks...except in the husband dept! ) still says that she really think that the QX looks nearly as classy and nice as the Escalade. There are days when I love the QX look and others when I'm not so into it.

That could be especially if you looked at the driver first and not the SUV

QX56

Took our first long drive with the QX this past week. Traveled about 2-2.5 hour trip across the state mostly highway. Wife drove, threw out my back right before this vacation. One of the most enjoyable trips in a SUV. We have black exterior and of course the dirt was quite noticeable. Immediately had the car washed upon return, back not healed had to go to car wash. At times wished we had chosen another color, but black is my wife's choice.

Black through a car was will leave a ton of micro scratches. After awhile you will notice a bunch of scratches when looking at it under the sun or daylight flourescent. Black is very high maintenance to keep looking new.
